What is nerd nite?
This is a 19+ casual FREE gathering with speakers who present about something that they're passionate about—from the science of Pokemon to wine sommelier secrets to the mysteries of the Great Lakes; we’ve had speakers talk about anything and everything they nerd out about!
As always, we'll have exciting science demonstrations and trivia with PRIZES!

Legend to Fact: The Lighthouse of Doom
The Parks Canada team works to expand our understanding of Lake Superior’s history by tying the stories told here to archeological proof. Tonight, we connect the dark legend of the ‘Lighthouse of Doom’ to the humble truths of Talbot Island lighthouse and the fate of its keepers.
