Observing the excitement that butterfly greenhouses brought to communities across Ontario, he thought, \"We could make that happen here at Carleton.\" From the outset, the goal was to provide a free community event, inviting families to Carleton and offering young people a unique, early introduction to science education.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-16016 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/Butterfly-with-Boy-Photos-by-Akintunde-Akinleye-240x160.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/>Initially, the show ran in May around Mother's Day. However, in 2002, Carleton asked Ed to host a second Butterfly Show to mark the university's 60th anniversary. This additional October show, coinciding with Thanksgiving weekend, created a special family-oriented atmosphere. Moreover, Ed could now enlist help from students actively studying on campus during this time of year. With the support of these student volunteers, the October timing became a permanent fixture.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-16017 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20201011_105734-Blue-Morpho-credit-Sarah-Anne-Szabototh2-240x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"225\" \/>\r\n\r\nDuring the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Biology faced a crucial decision: cancel the show or attempt a virtual version. Unanimously choosing to adapt, in 2020 and 2021, carefully spaced volunteers offered virtual tours from inside the greenhouse. This innovative approach allowed the show to reach schools and families worldwide for the first time.\r\n\r\nAs we celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2024, we're proud of this milestone and deeply grateful to our community donors who made it possible. Thank you to everyone who has attended the show over the past quarter-century. We look forward to continuing the butterfly experience into the future.\r\n<h2>Past Event Highlights and Media Coverage<\/h2>\r\n2025 Meet the new caretaker for thousands of Carleton\u2019s
