About This Site

The Year of Science was a website created by the Province of British Columbia in 2010 to promote and teach parents, children and educators about the wide world of science. Unfortunately the website was taken offline in 2013 but was soon after recovered by a select group of fans who wanted to archive the site and put it back online for the world to see once again.
