The Gold rush era was one of the most exciting periods in Canada’s history, changing the face of British Columbia forever! Our Education Programs offer students the opportunity to explore BC’s rich cultural history through active, outdoor learning.
Our hands-on programs connect with the new BC Curriculum for Social Studies (Grades 1 – 6) and History (Grade 7 and up).
