Public Outreach: Fleuve à 3R

Together with our science collaborators at the Old Port of Trois-Rivières, we offered a full day of activities that brought together arts (cyanotype, poetry writing, and drawing/painting), science demos about water quality along the flow of the River, and visits to the Lampsilis research vessel where on-board research is done.
