TELUS Spark, Calgary’s science centre, is a city jewel. When it opened in its current location in 2011, it was the first purpose-built science centre in the country in 25 years. It houses the largest dome theatre in western Canada and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year and launches blockbuster shows. It changes lives and opens doors to the world of science, technology and innovation.

Spark began in 1967 promoting curiosity, innovation and collaboration, and encouraging children and youth to pursue higher education and careers in science and technology.

What is now known as Spark originally opened as the Calgary Centennial Planetarium on July 1, 1967. It was located on 11 Street SW in Calgary's downtown west end. In 1983 the Calgary Science Centre Society began a bid to open a full science centre to Calgary and in 1987 they received an operating agreement that would transform the planetarium into the Calgary Science Centre.

Spark exists to entertain people of all ages in creative encounters with science and technology. Through visits to Spark, and encounters with Spark in the community, people feel lifted up by the positive power of curiosity, experimentation and problem-solving

Best job I ever had!
Great place to work, not for profit gives you a sense of purpose. My boss was awesome and I never had an issue with him. The team I worked with there was one of the best teams I have even been part of. I had a lot of responsibilites but I was given the time and people to get the job done.

Not a good work environment
People are treated so poorly, they have 0 care for their employees they just want the science center to do well. They have holidays like Christmas on blackout so no one can take it off. They hire people who just sit on their bums and don't do their jobs and the bosses don't care.

Collaborative & Fun workplace
Overall decent place to work at, especially if your looking for a steady environment. The company is not as big thus personal growth & development within have many limitations.
