The science of togetherness! ❤️ Spending time with the people you love does more than warm your heart—it lights up your brain. Connection triggers a rush of dopamine, oxytocin, and other feel-good chemicals that boost mood, deepen bonds, and make moments feel extra meaningful.

Last month, the Spark Indigenous Science Connections Team welcomed new President and CEO, Guy Labine, with a special ceremony led by Elders and Knowledeg Keepers from the Spark Indigenous Advisory Circle.

THANK YOU! ♥️   Because of this incredible community, TELUS Spark exceeded its #GivingTuesday goal, maxed out the full matching donation, and raised just shy of $25,000 — the highest-impact Giving Tuesday yet!

New President & CEO, Guy Labine and team welcomed The Honourable Minister of Jobs and Families, @pattyhajdu.bsky.social, and MP @coreyhogan.ca to TELUS Spark Science Centre last month.

TELUS Spark Science Centre’s Guy Labine, CEO, Amber Lachambre, Director of Advancement, and Zack Anderson, Director of Science Connections—share how donations fuel science experiences that open doors for thousands of kids, break down barriers, and create real opportunities to learn and explore.

GIVING TUESDAY — TODAY ONLY: DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT! ♥️   One day. One gift. Twice the access to science for Calgary families.   Today, every donation is matched up to $7,500 by the Pidskalny Robertson Family Foundation.
