Canada's Got Treasures
Canada's Got Treasures is a new interactive online space launched by the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC). Using YouTube and Flickr, the website invites Canadians, museums and heritage institutions from across the country to upload their photos and videos of objects, artworks, buildings, people or locations that are culturally significant to them. Each week from May to November 2010, new treasures from Canada's national museums and institutions are revealed, with an accompanying quiz. Significant holdings from our museums and private collections from the three coasts of Canada will be plotted on an interactive map. Following the launch of the project, the VMC will be communicating updates through its Facebook and Twitter channels. Canada's Got Treasures! is the result of a strong partnership between the VMC and the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Canadian War Museum, National Gallery of Canada, Canada Science and Technology Museum, Canada Aviation Museum, Canada Agriculture Museum, and the Canadian Museum of Nature, as well as the National Capital Commission and Library and Archives Canada.

Waters of life
The Lake Saint-Pierre has been recognized as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2000. Several of the territory's features led to this recognition, including the fact that this ecosystem is among the most studied by the Canadian scientists. The virtual exhibition 'Waters of life', produced by the Biophare in collaboration with the 'Université de Montréal', is mainly concerned by the fauna and flora in this significant fluvial lake. 'Waters of life' is taking interest in the main characteristics of the underwater life at the base of the food chain. The exhibition includes exclusive interviews with the principal searchers working in Lake Saint-Pierre, as well as more than a hundred clips providing an overview of the benthic and planktonic species. The whole project is organized according to the different masses of water and tributaries. Finally, there is a section specifically about the formation of the Lake Saint-Pierre.
