ACCeSSOTIES 10 Wyman Rd., Unit 4, Waterloo _ 746â€"2650 Aspiring time travellers invited to come aboard Ontario TimeShip 2000 to dock in Waterloo lear a spot on your calâ€" endar next month and prepare for quality time with your family â€" quality time travel, that is. Ontario TimeShip 2000, an engaging, entertaining travelâ€" ling exhibition about the mysâ€" teries of time, is setting down in â€" Waterloo â€" Thanksgiving weekend and explorers of all ages are being invited to climb aboard and take a tour. “pJNB' TimeShip 2000 was comâ€" missioned by Ontario 2000, the provincial government‘s millennium program. [t was created to help communities across Ontartio celebrate the millennium year, and was designed by three top cultural institutions â€" the Ontario Science Centre, the Royal Ontario Museum and Science North. "TimeShip 2000 is a key centrepiece of the province‘s millennium program," says Fred Ross, executive director of Ontario 2000. "It provides an opportunity to showcase three of the province‘s premier agencies and share some excitâ€" ing exhibits in time with Ontarians and visitors in our millennium year." This community is one of 21 chosen to host the event as it travels the province between May and October of this year. "Just because we use time, we think we understand it," says Iim Marchbank, TimeShip 2000 â€" spokesperson. "The TimeShip gives people of all ages the opportunity . to explore time in a very handsâ€" on way. There are some rare timepieces, great interactive exhibits, even a handsâ€"on clockâ€"building activity for the younger members of the famiâ€" ly." â€" Ae â€" o U The exhibit entrance looks like it might have been borâ€" rowed from the set of a sciâ€"fi program. _ Visitors enter through a glowing archway and make their first stop at the punchâ€"clock. 9m 1 1 uon Pmmeah i "We need to keep track of the time everyone comes on Cmmmmmmmmmmend UAAA ROYAL LEPAGE ppeoreees ic 11111 SCHARF REALT Y INDEPENDENTLY OW 50 WESTMOUNT RD.

Once â€" inside, a visitor moves through the various chambers, each one organized along a different theme. Almost immediately, many people are drawn towards a 4.5â€"billionâ€"yearâ€"old meteorite that they can touch. It‘s part of one area that explores 4 billion years of Ontario history. As an added bonus, children enjoy handsâ€"on experience in a mini archaeologica! dig, and get to keep a fossil of their very own. One particularly addictive exhibit, called World History in Five Minutes, displays a runâ€" ning sequence of thousands of individual images that docuâ€" ment human history, right from its beginnings. The visiâ€" tor has control over how slowâ€" ly or quickly time and the images pass, which is a good thing because the pace gets dizzying as human advanceâ€" ments are made more and more quickly. mi Another "mustâ€"see" is the morphing demonstration in the Research Lab. For this one, a child‘s picture is taken with a digital camera. The image is then fed into a computer. Using the digital image, the computer generates a series of snapshots, showing what the child might look like at various points in their lifetime, all the way up to 70 years in the future. "The results of the morphâ€" ing can be a little startling," says Lori Moggy, tour manager. "We‘ve had visitors telling us that the images of their child look surprisingly like an older member of the family: aunts, uncles, grandparents."
