When you observe our environment at the microscopic scale, a diverse cast of tiny critters is revealed. 

You can find organisms named after celestial bodies for their captivating array of prey-capturing spikes, and single-celled organisms that contain structures resembling eyes, mouths, feet, and arms. Some produce their own food through photosynthesis, some consume their food, while others defy these classifications by doing both! 

Join Provincial Carillonneur Rosemary Laing as she plays a recital of remembrance following the Remembrance Day Ceremonies at the Provincial Legislature.
