Ottawa Giveaway alert: an idea for your next date night, from the Museum of Nature

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons| Giveaways and product reviews

We have a winner! Thanks everyone! This giveaway is now closed.

I have two tickets to give away to a new evening program at The Canadian Museum of Nature called de Natura.

De Natura invites the public to connect with other curious minds to explore and discuss current and pressing topics. Loosely resembling the Museum’s former Café Scientifique discussion series, de Natura offers a flexible and frequently changing format that may take the form of a book launch, film screening or debate from one month to another.

De Natura launches January 17 with author Maurice Hladik and an insightful look at food production.

Maurice Hladik, author of Demystifying Food from Farm to Fork, will talk about modern agriculture “in a hungry world”. His presentation will look at trends in agriculture, the reality of genetic modification and its benefits, future technologies, the sustainability of organic food production and the author’s thoughts on the future. The audience will then discuss the subject over a drink or engage the speaker in a debate. A book-signing will follow the discussion. The event runs from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

Interested? Read on!

  • This giveaway is for one pair of tickets to the January 17 edition of de Natura and does not include admission Nature Unleashed or the 3D movies. (But since it’s taking place on a Thursday admission is free after 5:00! So squeeze in a quick little wander beforehand. TOTAL DATE MATERIAL PEOPLE!)
  • In order for your entry to qualify, please leave a comment below. That’s it!
  • This giveaway is void in Quebec, sorry.
  • If you can’t post your comment for whatever reason you can email it to me for posting at andrea at quietfish dot com. Please note, I cannot be responsible if your entry is misdirected or gets stuck in my Spam folder!
  • One entry per person please! We want lots of people to have the opportunity to win.

That’s it! I will draw one name using Random.org at 9:00 a.m EST on January the 16th. The winner will have to pick their passes up at the Museum.

If you don’t win and you’re still keen to go, reserve your ticket by calling 613-566-4791. You can also email reservations@mus-nature.ca. Tickets are $20 each (tax included). You can also see what topics will be up for discussion in the coming coming on the Museum website.

The Obligatory Blurb

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
