Science Rendezvous

Science Rendezvous is the largest science festival in Canada; its inaugural event happened across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) on Saturday, May 10, 2008 with the support from the University of Toronto, Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University), York University and the Ontario Tech U (previously University of Ontario Institute of Technology). By 2011 the event had gone national, with participation from most major research institutes, universities, science promotion groups and the Canadian public. Science Rendezvous is a registered not-for-profit organization dedicated to making science accessible to the public. In 2019, there were more than 300 festival events in 30 cities across Canada.

This free all-day event aims to promote scientific awareness and literacy in Canada. The target audience is the general public, specifically families, with an ultimate aim of improving enrollment and investment in technology and sciences in the future.
