Building planes, boats and bridges will be part of the fun at New Westminster's Fraser River Discovery Centre for the B.C. Day weekend.
The Discovery Centre is continuing its Summer Discovery Days series for the long weekend, Aug. 5 to 7.
“Long weekends in the summer months are extra special and we wanted to help people celebrate them,” said Stephen Bruyneel, the centre’s director of external relations and development, in a press release.
The August long weekend will feature an Engineering Lab that will let visitors get their hands on family-friendly activities tied to the Fraser River’s role in a busy transportation corridor, including:
- building paper planes and testing how the designs fare in the flight testing area;
- showing off boat- and bridge-building creativity with KEVA wooden plank challenges; and
- learning about local transportation innovators to identify some of the many planes, boats and bridges visible on the Fraser River.
Summer Discovery Days events for the long weekend will take place Saturday, Aug. 5 through Monday, Aug. 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
All programs are on a drop-in basis, so you don’t need to sign up ahead.
You can find all the details at the Fraser River Discovery Centre website.
