DESCRIPTION:Come discover the secrets of trees!\n\nThe Office of Student Ac
 ademic Services in collaboration with the Sonia Bujold Initiative and Let’
 s Talk Science\, has put together a lovely free online booklet of self-pac
 ed activities on trees.\n\nTrees are the unsung heroes of the plant world.
  They provide food and shelter to a diverse community of mammals\, birds\,
  insects\, lichen\, and fungi. They absorb carbon dioxide and produce brea
 thable air. They improve soil quality\, prevent soil erosion\, and reduce 
 noise pollution. They even fight climate change! But the very best thing a
 bout trees is how they add beauty to our world.\n\nLearn to identify nativ
 e tree species of Quebec\, discover fun historical facts\, do arts and cra
 fts\, play games\, and much more. There is something for everyone to enjoy
 !\n\n\n	For children and adults of all ages.\n	The activity booklet is avail
 able in both French and English.\n	Register now to receive your booklet on 
 Friday May 3!\n	For questions or additional information\, please contact in
 grid.chiraz [at] mcgill.ca (Ingrid Chiraz).\n	Registrations will be accepte
 d through May 2.\n\n\nSign up for our newsletter!\n\n\nThis event is part 
 of 24 Hours of Science\, a day-long event filled with science and technolo
 gy activities for everyone (children\, teens\, young adults\, families\, s
 eniors\, etc.). Over 400 activities take place throughout Quebec! The even
 t starts on Friday at noon and ends 24 hours later\, giving room for eveni
 ng and late-night activities.\n\nScience\, what a story!\n\nThis year we a
 re looking at how science organizations relate to you\, the public! Transm
 ission\, testing\, discovery\, and participation of novices are an integra
 l part of the scientific community\, regardless of the field. We therefore
  invite all science organizations in Quebec to help you discover the heart
  of their work by offering you exciting activities to satisfy your curiosi
 ty!\n\n\nThe Sonia Bujold Initiative  is an outreach initiative establishe
 d in 2021 by Ms. Sonia Bujold\, a recent retiree from the McGill Departmen

 ic. The Initiative offers engaging and educational activities on the fasci
 nating world of biology through a series of free online self-paced activit
 y booklets for children and adults.  \n\nThe McGill Chapter of Let's Talk 
 Science is a volunteer-based group of graduate and undergraduate students 
 from a wide range of faculties at McGill University. Our volunteers delive
 r hands-on classroom presentations\, host public STEM events\, mentor for 
 and evaluate projects at regional science fairs\, and provide STEM outreac
 h to a range of urban and indigenous schools!\n
