Help support the butterflies!
The Butterfly Show has been open to the public by donation since its creation 22 years ago. Thank you for over two decades of generous support! Your donations keep the show running year after year.
Donations can be made online using Carleton University’s secure FutureFunder platform or in-person during the show.
Volunteers and Organizers
Meet the Butterfly Show Volunteers and Organizers! Our show would not have been able to run for 22 years without them!
In 2020 and 2021, Let’s Talk Science Ottawa produced 600 individual hands-on learning kits related to the Butterfly Show. These kits brought science-learning to indigenous children and children living in lower socio-economic areas during the week of the show.
