Quotes
“Toronto is a very prosperous city, but sadly there are many children, students and families across the Greater Toronto Area who are financially unable to enjoy all the Science Centre has to offer. The proceeds of this event will support access programs that will open up the wonder, excitement and inspiration of science to thousands of people in our community.”
“The LG Innovators’ Ball supports industry-leading access programs which enable many thousands of visitors from underserved communities to enjoy a day of joyful learning and science engagement at the Science Centre each year. Again this year, the effort, dedication and creativity of our committee, sponsors, volunteers and staff were key to making this event a resounding success.”
“For the fifth consecutive year, the LG Innovators’ Ball has captured the imagination of our guests. As our event co-chairs, Joe and Laurissa Canavan led a remarkable team, along with our generous sponsors, to plan an event that will ensure dynamic and hands-on science programs are more accessible."
