Federal funding recently announced for Science North is benefiting the North Bay area too.

Ottawa recently announced over $1.6 million to modernize the fourth floor at Sudbury’s Science North, including the development of “Tinker, Hack, Innovate, Network and Know”, or THINK exhibits.

There’s only a few details so far, but the money is also going toward establishing six THINK hubs in the north, including one in North Bay.

Officials say the announcement will boost tourism across the north and encourage young Canadians to embrace science and technology.
