Meagan McGrath Homecoming
Meagan McGrath was warmly welcomed home by over 400 people at Science North on June 19th. They attended Meagan's homecoming ceremony to celebrate her successful climb of Mount Everest. Though she's travelled all over the world, and to the "Rooftop of the World," Meagan was overwhelmed by the support shown to her by her hometown crowd. She has consistently made all of us at Science North extremely proud to be her Summit Supporter. The humility, determination, compassion, and intelligence that she's demonstrated throughout her Everest expedition have been inspirational. As Meagan would say, "Woo hoo!" Meagan McGrath's Everest Adventure exhibit continues at Science North until September 3rd.
