TELUS World of Science

TELUS World of Science

TELUS World of Science is a "brand" for a number of science centre, planetarium, and space centre facilities in Canada sponsored by Telus, a Canadian telecommunications company. Each of the science centres operate entirely independently and other than having sold their "naming rights" to Telus there is no formal relationship between the different centres.

The recent rebranding followed major donations from Telus to science centres in Calgary, Alberta; Edmonton, Alberta; and Vancouver, British Columbia.

Telus has reportedly pursued similar donations (and subsequent name changes) for facilities in Toronto and Montreal. Presently both the Ontario Science Centre and the Montreal Science Centre count Telus among their lead sponsors, but have not seen fit to sell their naming rights.

List of Telus-sponsored centres:

* TELUS World of Science, Calgary — formerly the "Calgary Science Centre"
* TELUS World of Science, Edmonton — formerly the "Odyssium", before that the "Edmonton Space and Science Centre", and before that the "Edmonton Space Sciences Centre".
* Science World at TELUS World of Science, Vancouver — formerly "Science World"
