First Capital Day 2010

First Capital Day 2010

Each June 15, Kingston celebrates its unique role in history as the 'First Capital' of United Canada with interactive fun for school kids and the general public alike. The Museum of Health Care set up an interactive booth in Confederation Park as part of the First Capital Day festivities organized by the City of Kingston. We had kids (and adults!) guess artefact uses, test each other's reflexes, touch a skeleton hand, test their knowledge of health care history, and listen to each other's heartbeats using a stethoscope from our education collection. 

 Here are some photos from the event:
