the making and tasting of foods such as ice cream, bread and butter.
Other demonstrations present farming activities, including year-round
animal care and spring sheep shearing. Visitors to the animal barns will
see a collection of common farm animals, as well as several rare breeds.
The Museum's Tractors exhibition and the exhibition on rural
electrification of one hundred years ago bring the science of the past
to life. The Canada Agriculture Museum - Where Knowledge Grows!

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the
participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES,
JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating
countries.
ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of
Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the
International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see,
first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize
youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. Further
information on the ARISS program is available on the website
http://www.rac.ca/ariss (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of
Canada).
Thank you & 73,
