The Biosphère, My Planet at Play!

Biosphère

In the 10 years since its opening in 1995, Environment Canada’s Biosphère has been a showcase for environmental education. The Biosphère raises the awareness of young people and their families about major environmental issues, including those related to water and climate change, and the sustainable development of the Great Lakes – St Lawrence ecosystem.

The Biosphère offers exhibitions, activities, workshops, an educational program and an ecowatch network. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Biosphère has updated all of its exhibitions and educational activities.

Montreal's architectural masterpiece since the 1967 World Fair, the Biosphère is located in the former American pavilion created by the visionary architect Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983).

A visit to the Biosphère is an opportunity to discover a unique world living in symbiosis with our own environment and to gain an appreciation and respect for it.
