Greetings!

Happy New Year from the Children's Discovery Museum on the Saskatchewan! 2009 promises to be a very happy year, indeed.
Market Mall Update

We are thrilled to announce, as of January 2, the Children's Discovery Museum is a proud new tenant of Market Mall!

With the help of Jim, Charles and Gordon (see sidebar), we have begun building and organizing our first permanent home. We anticipate the build taking four to eight weeks. Once this is complete, we will open our doors to the public. Woohoo!!! Stay tuned for more information on our Grand Opening.
