Canada South Science City, Science center in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Canada South Science City is a science center in Windsor, Ontario, featuring multiple interactive sections for learning. It includes a Biodiversity Exhibit, a Fossil Dig Site, a Lagoon area with live reptiles, an Exploratorium with physics displays, a computer lab with digital resources, and a Science Cafe for visitors.
The center was established in 2004 within the former J.L. Forster Secondary School building, which was repurposed as the Forster Community Hub. This transformation of the school structure created a new venue for scientific education and community activities.
Canada South Science City is run entirely by a volunteer board of directors as a community non-profit, after starting with a grant from the City of Windsor. Its home is the former J.L. Forster Secondary School, renamed the Forster Community Hub, in Sandwich Town on Windsor's west end. The centre has been closed to the public since 2021, when the organization posted a notice citing vandalism and stating hopes to reopen.
