What Teachers Are Saying

Grade 2 TeacherSt. Bonaventure School

The students said it was awesome! It was engaging, covered the curricular topics, taught and showed things that I as a classroom teacher was not able to do myself. I felt the field trip cost was well worth it! Students learned a lot. It was action packed for the time. Very well done. I think this Inuit program is one of the best programs I've seen in a long time. (In-School program)

J.DAmisk School

I loved the fact that we were able to take part in this field trip even with restrictions in place. The Presenter was very engaging and held the children's attention well. The student's loved it! (Video Conference program)

The centers were laid out really well. Students have a blast with the soapstone activity. (In-School program)

C.CWebber Academy

The students are engaged during the presentation as well as the individual stations. They are able to state many details about the Inuit and were excited to learn more about the culture. The Presenter was enthusiastic and informative. (In-School program)
