Spotlight on partner projects

Fisheries and Oceans Canada

Co-creating educational programs to boost public awareness

Ingenium has partnered with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to collaborate on a multitude of projects. We co-created educational programs and exhibitions offering valuable expertise, knowledge, and resources for our partner to raise awareness about important topics around the country.

Together, we launched a 1,950 ft² permanent exhibition at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum—Aquaculture: Farming the Waters—which includes with a 700 ft² traveling exhibition, public programming, educational resources, and engaging outreach activities. This was a cost-effective way for Fisheries and Oceans Canada to reach a national audience to shed light on Canada’s vital yet often overlooked aquaculture industry.

Our national outreach efforts were furthered through a new exhibit at the Greenwich Interpretation Centre in PEI National Park, showcasing locally-relevant subject-matter around aquatic species at risk in Atlantic Canada. The impact of our wide network of contributors was brought to life through the inclusion of third contributor—Parks Canada—who leveraged their expertise in conservation and the recovery of species at risk to further demonstrate the real-world impacts of these important stories.

NAV Canada

Providing brand visibility in response to an industry challenge

Ingenium entered a multi-year partnership with NAV CANADA, Canada’s air navigation service provider, to help inspire the next generation consider a career in aviation. Through the development of an immersive exhibition at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, we showcased the rapid evolution of air traffic management, delving into intricate systems, dedicated people, and cutting-edge technologies at NAV CANADA. This partnership offered our partner a unique and engaging way to expose youth to its critical role and ground-breaking innovations in the aviation sector.

With Canadian air traffic on the rise, NAV CANADA faced growing demand for skilled professionals. The exhibition we built offered a window into the aviation industry while offering inspiration for some to become part of Canada’s future aviation story. Drawing connections to visitors’ own experiences as passengers, the exhibition facilitates learning through play, offering strong visual and audiovisual experiences. Additionally, the traveling version of the exhibition has journeyed from coast to coast to coast, attracting over 74,000 visitors across seven venues in six provinces and territories.
