Founder’s Circle
The Founders' Circle consisted in more than 70 public - and private-sector partners who contributed 15 million dollars to the Foundation of the Montréal Science Centre. These partners provided the financial support required to finance the Montréal Science Centre's exhibitions, activities, events and public and educational services. Thanks to them, a wonderful dream came true on May 1, 2000.
