In addition to Ingenium maintaining and developing Canada’s national collection of scientific and technological objects and library collection, Ingenium operates three national museums in Ottawa – the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum – offering multi-sensory programming that engages Canadians on-site, online, and around the country.

In this fourth year of its current five-year strategic plan, Ingenium made substantial progress on its three strategic goals impacting Canadians around the country. This past fiscal year, continued progress was made in: collaborating with a wide variety of public, private and academic sector organizations to innovate; pushing the boundaries of accessibility and engagement to reach and connect with more Canadians; and strengthening our organizational foundations to work towards ensuring long-term sustainability.

The full annual report, including the highlights of the year and the financial statements, will be available on the Ingenium website.

I am immensely proud of the results our team delivered on our mission and strategic goals in 2023-2024. Through all the work we do, we make science meaningful and relevant in everyday lives for people of all ages to learn and be inspired. The Annual Public Meeting is a valuable opportunity to celebrate our achievements and reflect on how we will move forward into this last year of our strategic plan, and beyond, as we continue to ignite curiosity and drive engagement in STEAM in a way that is accessible and welcoming to all.
