The program starts on Sunday, Aug. 12 at 1 p.m. and wraps up on Tuesday evening, Aug. 14. The Children’s & Youth Room will be at the Calgary Marriott, which is connected to the Telus Convention Centre. Here are some of the attractions and places youngsters will visit:

Telus World of Science – interactive exhibits exploring Secrets of the Pharaohs, Inside the Human Body with 4D-technology, and Hands-On Nature – exhibits that spark the imagination.
