We’re delighted to share Heather Martin Taylor’s fondest CAGIS memory as part of our 30th anniversary celebration! More than twenty years ago, Heather was a CAGIS member in our Sudbury, Ontario chapter.
We got to sleep over at Science North (the science centre in Sudbury). Like many young girls, I loved sleepovers, and like many children in Sudbury, I thought Science North was one of the coolest places. We all had a blast. Getting to do that was a childhood highlight!
Science North is so great that in 2016, my husband and I had our wedding reception there. Now I look forward to taking our children there one day
CAGIS offered a positive and encouraging environment that allowed me to be myself and enjoy science with my peers. I got to do so many neat things that I never would’ve had a chance to do otherwise.
I went on to receive a Master of Arts degree in Women’s and Gender Studies, and I believe my interest in science helped me pursue my research. I am still passionate about STEM and thankful for the time I had as a CAGIS member!
