Andy, Mary
Nov 8, 2023
On November 8, 2023, Andy and Mary had the opportunity to meet and speak with MPP Stephanie Bowman, a member of the provincial parliament and representative of the Don Valley West riding. Experienced in creating publications amongst many other things, she provided invaluable insights and suggestions for OTLF Newsletter project that Andy and his team are working on. Ms. Bowman also stressed the importance of tapping into current world issues relevant to young Canadians to captivate readers. She talked about the recent discussion the iconic provincial property - Ontario Science Center which was designed by Canada's Centennial, the provincial government commissioned architect Raymond Moriyama in 1964. Ontario Science Centre is one of the first interactive science museums in the world and it has welcomed more than 54 million visitors since 1969. Moving it to downtown (the Ontario Place grounds) is still controversial. Ms. Bowman also recommended that the team make use of the accessibility of the internet to promote the publications to a wider audience. All in all, having the honor to converse and learn from such an accomplished individual was an enriching experience.
