The great outdoors has made its way inside TELUS Spark and adventure is calling! The world may seem like it’s been flipped upside down and inside out in 2020. Learn how to ground yourself in this safe indoor pathway science exhibit that immerses you into the great outdoors without being outside. You'll learn about the science of the hormones that keep you happy. After all, happiness is key! The exhibit features a boardwalk that guides you through micro-habitats peppered with tips, tricks, and strategies for resiliency during uncertain times. The experience focuses on the science behind neurotransmitters from serotonin to endorphins and its role in boosting mental health and well-being. This exhibit is included with general admission or membership to Spark. Members must reserve tickets for entry.

Takes place October 16 to 25. Power down, look up, and enjoy the enthralling night sky at Jasper’s Dark Sky Festival! The Festival’s 10th Anniversary will attract legions of amateur astronomers to the world’s second largest accessible dark sky preserve in a new, physically-distanced way. Events may be smaller to adhere to COVID-19 regulations, but the self-guided activities will be bigger than ever!
