Chilliwack Library Flex Space
Women do it all and sometimes they do it in extreme environments, like fighting fires, saving lives in remote locations, working in the Arctic or in space.
Science Cafés are casual, dynamic interactions between audiences and scientists. We’ll serve light refreshments & draw door prizes for library swag.
Event open to everyone! Help us meet Sustainability Goals. Bring a reuseable mug!
