Lead Supporter of Super Mondays
| RBC Foundation |
|---|
The Super Mondays! Program is a special initiative which allows students and teachers to test one-off programs and new experiments, providing crucial feedback to the Science Centre’s staff, prior to the programs being integrated into the school curriculum.
“RBC is proud to support such a leading edge institution’s promotion of science, which affects over 225,000 students each year” commented Lisa Gallacher, Regional Vice President RBC Financial Group, Toronto North.
RBC Foundation’s gift will allow up to 5,000 students and teachers the chance to learn from and contribute to the creation of leading-edge science and education while visiting the Ontario Science Centre.
