For the first time since it's inception in 2016, the Coquitlam Public Library held it's highly successful Tri-Cities Science Expo at Douglas Collage on Saturday, May third. The event had been growing every year and finally outgrew the facilities offered by the Coquitlam Public Library. Holding the event at Douglas Collage seemed to be the natural next step as Douglas Collage has been very involved with the Science Expo as sponsors since it first began.

The event was very well attended and was an excellent opportunity to hear from Tri-Cities primary and secondary school students who may be our scientific minds of the future.

As hosts of this years event Douglas Collage was not only able to provide room for the ever expanding amount of scientific displays but also took the time to host a number of interactive scientific displays that really engaged both the students who took part in the event as well as those who were in attendance.
