History:
The Deep River Science Academy was founded in 1987 by a group of scientists from Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.—Chalk River Laboratories and the Petawawa National Forestry Institute. These scientists had an idea for a program that would give insight into the methods of research and development to high
school students who had a strong scientific aptitude. The first successful summer saw 32 students from Ontario, Nova Scotia, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories participate in a variety of Physics and Biology projects. The DRSA continues to provide an intensive science program to students from across Canada each and every summer.
