The Eastern semi-arid desert, unique in BC, will allow you and your students for a distinctive experience.

Cities in the province's interior offer a number of courses and recreational activities such as water parks, lakes, bowling, and more. Kelowna is a vibrant natural city hosting music festivals in which your students can engage. Kamloops, a transportation hub linked to Vancouver via the spectacular Fraser Canyon along the Trans-Canada highway, is another highlight of the region. The capital of Northern BC and initially the home of the Lheidli T'enneh and Carrier Sekani First Nations people, Prince George has a lot to teach your students.

Welcome to a land of multiple discoveries!

Introduce your students to the newest Canadian province, part of the confederation since 1949. Its heritage was highly influenced by the Indigenous culture as well as the visits of English, Irish, and French fishermen from the 1500s. In fact, the province was under British rule until 1949 and is geographically located closer to the Irish coast than to Winnipeg!

Let your students experience this rich culture by means of guided tours narrating local stories and tales; the discovery of preserved artifacts; and traditional activities such as a fishing boat tour.

Extending over more than 25,000 kilometers of pristine coastline, the province boasts impressive natural sites with a European touch like nowhere else in Canada. The collision of tectonic plates that formed most of Newfoundland makes its geology a riveting phenomenon to teach students.
