This site is not affiliated with the Royal Canadian Institute. It has been created by and for alumni of the Summer Science Programmes held from 1963 to 1970.
In 1969, thirty-five students assembled in Lakefield, Ontario, for the Royal Canadian Institute's Summer Science Programme. In January, 2021, Bob Allan, who was our director, contacted one of us, Arthur Ryman, and donated some of his some photos from the programme. Thus began our archive of memorabilia.
The alumni section of this site, a Dropbox folder, and a Google Group make up our communication channels. We also email each other.
If you were there, join the group by contacting admin@rcisummerscience.ca. We'll make sure you get access to everything.
If you are a visitor who did not attend the programme, learn about the Royal Canadian Institute and its Summer Science Programme in these brochures, all distributed in 1969:
