History, Heritage and Culture From the trap line to tourism, sled dogs played a vital role in the life of Gerald Azure. In an entertaining and humorous format, Gerald delivers a powerful message of triumph over adversity, the importance of maintaining self- sufficiency and working hard alongside a strong and diversified team of sled dogs.

An Aboriginal success story, Gerald and his well-cared-for sled dogs have been featured around the world, including APTN, NBC and Canadian Geographic. His connection with his dogs and ability to overcome adversity and adapt to a rapidly changing world is shared in interactive programs, including a cultural talks and dogsled/cart rides year round!

For the first time, Manitoban’s will now have access to this world renowned program at Asessippi Ski Resort from December to February, in addition to Churchill from March to November.

Applied Physics Program At Sky Zone, we combine physical activities with education programs too. What better place to learn the basic laws of physics while jumping on trampolines? Ever wonder what makes you jump so high on a trampoline? Or what keeps you moving? Here at Sky Zone, we think of that all the time!!

Starting this winter 2015, we will be introducing a program in which teachers can incorporate the Manitoba curriculum for grades 7 and 8 of applied physics and mathematics. We call it “The Bounce Challenge”. Our trained staff will direct your students at 4 hands-on experimental stations on our trampolines. We will guide participants to complete several tasks that will help them understand Newton’s laws of motion. We will also provide the teachers with instructions on how to prepare the students for the challenge prior to coming to Sky Zone and also give them sample questions for their students once they complete their tasks. Our program will teach the basic physical properties of matter, energy and motion.

Join us this winter for a new and exciting way to learn physics!

Boys Taking the Dance Spotlight

W

ell known for providing some of the best dance training across Canada, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet (RWB) School has coached students to exceptional heights, many with the potential to embark on international careerws in dance. Under the same roof as the RWB Company and the RWB School Professional Division, the RWB School Recreational Division gives dancers of all ages and abilities a chance to train in this exciting environment. Always known for producing budding dance talent, the boys’ program at the RWB School is one that has gained significant momentum in recent years. “We found that there was an interest in boys-only dance classes for

students at a young age,” said Kelly Bale, Principal of the RWB School Recreational Division. “For our youngest dancers – their abundance of energy thrives as they explore movement, coordination and rhythm in fun, adventure-like classes.”

As attendance numbers are typically higher for girls heading to the ballet studios, RWB School offers an incentive program for boys’ tuition.

Tuition per full-year class runs at $80 for young boys until the age of 16, and includes their costuming for the year-end recital. “The boys’ incentive program was brought in to help reduce barriers for boys to engage in dance and as a result we’ve seen greater gender equality in our student body,” shares Bale.

The RWB School offers classes for boys as young as age 3 with the introductory program, Movers and Shakers. Following the initial year, boys classes begin with Mighty Movers (age 4 and 5), Power Movers (age 6 and 7) and at age 8, they graduate into the art form best known at the Winnipeg dance school, ballet. With RWB School Recreational Division receiving the 2015 Consumer Choice Award for Best Dance School in Winnipeg, prospective students are encouraged to take note of registration dates as classes fill quickly.

Assiniboine Park Conservancy Discover the wonders of nature at Assiniboine Park & Zoo

A

ssiniboine Park is a hub of year-round activity, a joyful gathering place in the heart of Winnipeg, and an urban oasis that offers a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is home to popular attractions like the Assiniboine Park Zoo, a first-class art gallery at the Pavilion, the lush Assiniboine Park Conservatory, and one-of-a kind Leo Mol Sculpture Garden. The Park’s wide-open green spaces, breathtaking gardens, Nature Playground, and recreational opportunities encourage people to get outdoors and be active.

With 400 acres and 1,500 animals, Assiniboine Park is also Winnipeg’s premier destination for learning about nature, wildlife and conservation.

“Children have a natural affinity with animals and nature that should be encouraged and nurtured,” said Scott Gray, Director of Programming for the Assiniboine Park Conservancy, the organization responsible for the operation of the both the Park and Zoo. “At Assiniboine Park and Zoo we have a unique opportunity to deliver meaningful and memorable experiences that feed their curiosity while inspiring them to take positive actions to protect wildlife and wild places.”

Major projects completed in recent years, such as the Qualico Family Centre, Nature Playground, and Journey to Churchill exhibit, have created opportunities for new educational programs at the Park and Zoo. For example, Journey to Churchill – which opened in July 2014 – has inspired an entirely new selection of programs for grades seven through 12 focused on polar bears, the ecology of northern Manitoba,

polar bear conservation and research, and sustainable development in a changing climate. Programs for students in younger grades explore biodiversity and the ingenious physiological adaptations that plants and animals have made to survive in the north.

Another new Zoo exhibit, the McFeetors Heavy Horse Centre, opened in the summer of 2015. The exhibit will provide opportunities for students to journey back to a time in our province’s history when heavy “horsepower” was relied on in pioneer-era industries such as agriculture, forestry, mining and road construction. For children who have never experienced rural life, this will be a memorable experience.

“No other venue in Manitoba can offer such a diversity of experiences in one location,” said Gray.

“Visitors can discover their inner animal at the Zoo and grow their knowledge about the world of plants at the Conservatory. Art and culture thrive in our galleries and gardens and at the heart of the Park lies an amazing nature play space.”

Assiniboine Park offers a diverse selection of curriculum-linked, interdisciplinary programs for students in Kindergarten through Grade 12. All programs incorporate learning objectives in science with connections to arts, culture, language, social studies and more. Most programs include hands-on activities and encourage different styles of learning through story-telling, music, verbal presentations, tours and team work.

Programs are available year-round.

As an alternative to Educational Programs, school groups may opt for:

GUIDED TOURS Guided walking tours are available for groups year-round at both the Park and Zoo.

OUTREACH PROGRAMS Can’t make it to the Park or Zoo? They will come to you! Outreach Programs include workshops for students of all ages.

SELF-GUIDED ZOO VISITS Reduced admission rates for schools are available for self-guided Zoo visits.

The Assiniboine Park Conservancy Programming Department will also develop customized programs to meet the objectives of specific groups, ages, and interests. Please call (204) 927-6070 to discuss your unique vision.

Please visit assiniboinepark.ca and assiniboineparkzoo.ca for program details.

Sponsored by

Student Night at the Opera Every year over 2,000 students attend the final dress rehearsals of Manitoba Opera’s main-stage productions through the Student Night at the Opera (SNO) program. SNO enables students to experience the power of live opera at the greatly reduced price of just $12 per ticket. These fully staged productions at the Centennial Concert Hall feature world-class singers, along with the Manitoba Opera Chorus, and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.

This November Manitoba Opera’s 43rd season will open with Student Night at the Opera at the Centennial Concert Hall Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. This glorious comic tourde-force of manners, love, politics, and class showcases the composer at his best. From the famous overture to the final glorious ensemble, Mozart’s music sparkles with intelligence and wit. The Marriage of Figaro will be sung in Italian with projected English translations.

Closing the season in April 2016 is a Manitoba Opera premiere of the literary classic, Of Mice and Men. This is a faithful retelling of John Steinbeck’s tragic tale of George and Lennie, two itinerant ranch workers in 1930s California in pursuit of a simple dream: to own a small house and farm of their own. The opera was composed by the revered American composer Carlisle Floyd, who also wrote the libretto. Floyd takes this powerful and tragic story and infuses it with music that is at once dramatic and striking, but also haunting and lyrical. Of Mice and Men is a heartbreaking testament to the bonds of friendship. It will be sung in English with projected titles.

LaserTopia

L

aserTopia truly is the perfect place for fun!

Come and enjoy the only laser tag facility in Winnipeg that offers over 4,500 square feet of pure FUN…on two levels! It just isn’t laser tag unless you can play on two levels – it is so much more fun! If you’ve never played laser tag at LaserTopia, you have to try it.

Our arena is set in an Indiana Jones theme, with floor-to-ceiling handpainted walls, filled with plants that light up the black light arena. Up to 32 people can play at the same time, and we run games every 15 minutes.

We have entertained thousands of people from ages six to 90 years old, so if you are looking to book a group, or just coming in with a few friends, come give us a try.

We also offer an amazing arcade, complete with two lanes of glow-inthe-dark mini bowling, the Typhoon Experience (you have to try this two-seat ride – with 10 rides to choose from, it’s like being on a

roller coaster!), Laser Frenzy Maze (this is our “jewel heist” attraction: when the game begins, laser beams appear and you have to go over and under them without the laser beam touching you!), racing cars, racing bikes, temple run, wheel of fortune, NBA basketball, skeeball and so much more. We also offer a full concession, and our redemption counter is out of this world!

We can accommodate groups from 10 to 250 people. LaserTopia has been host to hundreds of school groups, and once they’ve played here, they can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for an outing with your classmates, or having your graduation, look no further. We offer it all at LaserTopia! When you bring your class to LaserTopia, teachers play for free!

you watch a fun two-minute video explaining the rules of the game and the equipment you will play with. We also have game marshals to assure a fun, safe environment, so you can leave the kids behind and come play with your colleagues if you like.

Call us to book an event. We will even open our doors early, providing you have at least 20 people playing laser tag.

Teachers, don’t forget: this place is not just for kids – many faculty come to play and really enjoy themselves. You don’t need to know how to play. We have a really cool briefing room where

Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum There is a hidden treasure in Winnipeg.

A place that was made before Manitoba. A place that, at the time of its construction, was considered by the people of Red River to be the greatest undertaking they’d ever been witness to. It was to be the largest home ever built here, and today continues to stand as the largest oak log structure in North America.

I

ndeed, the convent built by and for the Sisters of Charity of Montréal – commonly known as the Grey Nuns – would stand the test of time to become Winnipeg’s oldest building, its oldest home. If it was considered massive in the late 1840s (it measures 100 feet by 40 feet with two full storeys, a basement and usable attic), with the progress of time and in relation to newer constructions, it came to be lovingly referred to as “la petite maison blanche” – the little white house.

Today, the Grey Nuns’ Convent stands nestled between two newer and much more imposing buildings.

Set back from Taché Avenue and sheltered – hidden – by a canopy of large elm trees, the little white house is now home to Le Musée de SaintBoniface Museum.

From the very beginning, the little white house’s doors were always open.

In fact, the Grey Nuns were known to refuse no one. In solidarity with that tradition, Le Musée de SaintBoniface Museum remains open to the public year-round and can be booked for special programming, private functions or events.

Our specialty school programs, created in line with provincial curricula, bring students into a world of discovery and hands-on activities designed to deepen their understanding and appreciation for history, with a particular focus on French-Canadian and Métis

contributions to the development of Manitoba. Let them try their hand at construction techniques, feel the weight of hauling water on their shoulders, figure out how to assemble a Red River Cart, or even bake traditional treats! Also explore the museum with our friendly guides, who can help you and your students discover our impressive collection of regionally and nationally significant artifacts, including the largest collection of Louis Riel’s belongings.

Schools programs are offered Tuesdays through Thursdays from September to April inclusively. In June and May, these programs are available Monday to Friday. Please call or email the museum for more detailed information.

Close to 20,000 people visit Winnipeg’s oldest building every year, whether by guided tour, as independent learners, for catered meetings or boutique shopping.

With a national reputation as an excellent steward to a collection of over 30,000 artifacts, Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum – housed in the little white house – is anything but small. Maybe it’s time you made your way to this hidden treasure at 494 Taché Avenue.

Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site Enter through Lower Fort Garry’s massive gates, where colourful characters from the past welcome you as they sweep you into their world.

This is where firsts happen.

T

his is the site where the first of the numbered treaties was made between the Crown and the area’s First Nations, creating a gateway to settlement in the west. It’s also home to Western Canada’s first prison, first asylum for the mentally ill and first training facility for the storied North-West Mounted Police.

Explore beautifully restored stone heritage buildings at this intact Hudson’s Bay Company fur trade centre on the banks of the Red River. Hear the blacksmith’s hammer, see and touch furs and barter a trade in the sales shop. Step inside the past at The Big House, where servant and sophisticate both share their worlds.

Enjoy two-hour curriculum-based tours with students, and after you’ve worked up an appetite, it’s time to prepare your ration of bannock – from quern to hearth. Discover the delicious history of chocolate with your own heritage chocolate workshop or dress up as members of the North-West Mounted Police and practice your drills!

This summer, enjoy new family-oriented programming seven days a week. Try your hand at daily life on the prairies or tie on an apron and prepare your own tallow candles from scratch. Time for a break? Take a seat at tiny tables where tiny tea sets and tiny costumes await for a pint-sized tea party in the Big House.

Visit our website at parkscanada.gc.ca/garry for more details.

The Forks National Historic Site For 6,000 years, The Forks has been a meeting place situated at the junction of the mighty Red and Assiniboine rivers. It is where Western Canada’s story begins and where travellers, settlers and Aboriginal peoples have passed through, bringing their trade, their transportation and their tales.

T

oday, The Forks is still Winnipeg’s meeting place, offering year-round activities and attractions for the whole family that inspire, educate and pay tribute to the history that shaped it.

Kids from two to 12 can head to the Variety Heritage Adventure Park. Scale the walls of Fort Gibraltar, ride a Red River cart, or hop aboard The Countess of Dufferin and imagine yourself traveling across the sunny prairies. Then join us for History Bites, a half-hour history adventure.

Take a 6,000-year journey with a Parks Canada costumed interpreter and uncover what lies beneath your feet. Learn the fate of the four fur-trading posts and hear the epic stories behind this meeting place.

And finally, it’s a high-tech history hunt! Do you have what it takes to solve a history mystery at The Forks? Using GPS technology and a self-guided booklet, solve the clues and find the hidden geocache.
