Explore150 engages young people in Canada to explore natural, cultural,
and historical sites around the corner and across the country. In 2014, we
launched the HTML version of the app, which expanded reach beyond
an iOS and Android user base to also include users of any device. Other
func ons launched this year include Adventures, and we have been
facilita ng a series of Adventures across the country, such as a field
trip or tour to mul ple sites of significance in Canadian communi es.
We launched a digital storytelling contest to connect young people's
narra ves to culture, history, and nature. Deloi e engaged students at
their Summer Leadership Ins tute in using Explore150 as a case study.
This year we had visits from more than 70,000 young people, and over
600 check-ins at sites country-wide. Young people answered 18,500
trivia ques ons, signed over 1,000 Guest Book entries, and sent in 720
