TELUS Spark Science Centre

Spark's Land acknowledgement recognizes the Indigenous People and their traditional connection to the land on which Spark is situated. Spark honours and respects the historical and ongoing relationship between Indigenous communities and the Land.

When it opened in its current location in 2011, it was the first purpose-built science centre in the country in 25 years. It houses the largest dome theatre in western Canada and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year and launches blockbuster shows. It changes lives and opens doors to the world of science, technology and innovation.

Get a closer glimpse at the individuals shaping the future of Calgary's only science centre. From board members, to the day-to-day leadership team.

Through the Keep Calgary Curious Campaign, Spark is seeking $45 million in support over the next five years from government, philanthropic leaders, corporate partners and individuals in the community to transform the science centre into one of the world’s leading science experiences.

To ensure the ticket price is not a barrier to access, Spark operates an access program that supports students, families and individuals requiring financial assistance to enter Calgary’s science centre.

This renewable energy infrastructure project is a key a part of The City of Calgary’s Climate Resilience Strategy– establishing a hub for small-scale renewable energy for Spark and the community of Renfrew and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, all while providing shelter for vehicles from the elements.

In April 2022, TELUS Spark Science Centre merged with Beakerhead and joined forces to engage and inspire more people and communities with science and technology. With Beakerhead and Spark working together, the future of science in communities across Calgary looks brighter than ever before!
