Saskatchewan Provincial Parks Saskatchewan Provincial Parks are the perfect outdoor classroom! From grasslands to boreal forest, there are 35 provincial parks to explore. Ignite your students’ love of the outdoors!

Sixteen of Saskatchewan’s Provincial Parks feature education-specific programming that is active, hands-on, full of self-discovery and relevant to the current Saskatchewan curriculum.

In Saskatchewan Provincial Parks, students have the opportunity to learn about the natural environment while experiencing it. Students learn about water eco-systems through pond dipping or investigate forest and land ecology through hiking our many trails. Try overnight camping and let your students hear the sound

of a crackling campfire or witness the beauty of a starlit sky.

Our historic parks are rich in both the history of aboriginal peoples and in the creation of our province. As a fur trade hub for 75 years, a Treaty #6 negotiation and signing location and the beginning of the Northwest Resistance, Fort Carlton is brimming with history to be discovered. Another Hudson’s Bay trading post, Last Mountain House, offers winter programming, where students can experience the difficulties faced by fur traders in the wintertime.

Our parks are also rich in settlement history. Visit Cannington Manor to experience daily life at the turn of the 20th century or Wood Mountain

Post to learn about the first North West Mounted Police detachment in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan Provincial Parks have something for everyone. Go hiking, explore the parks through geocaching or take a canoe trip on one of Saskatchewan’s beautiful lakes or rivers.

Winter activities are available at many parks and include cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. For adventurous groups, Cypress Hills offers exciting activities like ziplining, rock climbing and a night-sky observatory. Most parks also offer group camping rates.

With 35 parks spread throughout the province, excitement and adventure are just around the corner!

Estevan, the Energy City, is located in the Southeast corner of Saskatchewan. The Energy Tour is an educational tour that depicts the energy industry in our province. This tour is a great for students ages seven and older.

Morning tours take you on an inside journey to the Rafferty Dam, the Boundary Dam Power Station and the Boundary Dam Mine Site. The Rafferty Dam Reservoir was developed to provide water for the area, including Shand Power Station, and as flood protection for residents downstream in Saskatchewan and North Dakota. The Boundary Dam Power Station is the largest coal fired generating station in Saskatchewan. It alone produces 35% of Saskatchewan’s electricity. At the Boundary Dam Mine Site you will see some of the largest pieces of mining equipment in North America using the strip mining technique.

Afternoon Tours leads you through the Boundary Dam Mine Site, the Shand Power Station and the Shand Greenhouse. At the Boundary Dam Mine Site you will see some of the largest pieces of mining equipment including drag lines, coal haulers and huge bulldozers.

The Shand Power Station is the most environmentally advanced coal fired generating station in Canada. The Shand Greenhouse uses

excess heat from Shand Power Stations generating station to produce thousands of tree seedlings every year for wildlife habitat and land reclamation projects in the province.

These guided tours take approximately two and a half hours and run from Monday to Friday in May and June and from Tuesday to Saturday in July and August. The Energy Tour is a FREE tour and an experience that fits perfectly into the teaching curriculum.

Tunnels of Moose Jaw At the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, we aim to engage our guests with both facts and fun all rolled into one dynamic presentation. We offer two separate theatrically guided experiences:

• The Passage to Fortune tells the story of the Chinese immigrants’ journey into Canada in the late 1800s. The students learn about the Head Tax, the Chinese Immigration Act and how these brave men helped build the CPR. It deals with their ultimate survival despite racism and hatred they suffered on a daily basis.

• The Chicago Connection offers a glimpse into the days of prohibition, bootlegging and gangsters in the 1920s right here Moose Jaw. Moose Jaw at the time was rife with political corruption and bad behavior by many in power. The students learn about their country’s history and the way things were in the Roaring Twenties.

We offer packages to all teachers so their students can learn about Canadian history in a unique and memorable way. It’s a great way to supplement what is being taught in your classrooms.

Teachers: are you trying to think of an educational and physically demanding activity for your class? Looking for a new sport that incorporates all the required outcomes of your Phys. Ed. curriculum? Grip It has what you’re looking for.

Climbing covers the four fundamental general outcomes:

Activity: Indoor climbing fits best into the area of activities in Alternative Environments but also can fit under Individual Activities and Gymnastics.

Benefits Health: Indoor climbing is an activity that works cardio, strength, muscular endurance and flexibility through the whole body! Climbing meets the requirements of Functional Fitness and Well-being.

Cooperation: Indoor climbing promotes positive interaction with others in many different ways from trusting a belayer (rope holder) to encouraging a partner to succeed on a climb. Climbing meets the curriculum requirements of Communication, Fair Play, Leadership and Teamwork.

Do It Daily, Do It For Life: This is where indoor climbing really shines, as it provides opportunities for students of all skill levels regardless of age, body type or gender. A rarity in other sports, climbing allows for the opportunity of Recreational and International Athletes to participate in the activity side by side. Climbing meets the requirements of Effort, Safety, Goal Setting/personal Challenge and Active Living in the Community.

Grip It offers school group classes that run for an hour to two hours. Prices start at just $6.75 per student, and fees include gear rental and instruction.

Company booking policy:

• Minimum 12-student charge • Teachers must call to book. Please don’t have students call.

• Minimum 48-hour cancellation notice. Cancellations within 48 hours of booking will be billed 50% of booking.

Death Valley Paintball Death Valley Paintball is located less than an hour northwest of Regina. With mature, skilled officials, it is an excellent choice to take your school students. Paintball is a fun way to learn some of the skills of real life: leadership, teamwork, teambuilding and judgement – also, the realization that there is consequences for mistakes or not following direction. It also creates a stronger bond between teachers and students when teachers also get involved in the games.

With quite a few courses and different scenarios to choose from, we should have something for everyone!

What is Wanuskewin?

Wanuskewin is dance. Wanuskewin is art. Wanuskewin is food.

Wanuskewin is a gathering place for people of all ages and backgrounds to share knowledge. Wanuskewin is a place for people to connect.

Inside our interpretive centre, Wanuskewin is home to some of the most incredible artifacts and artworks in North America. Our knowledgeable interpretive staff will explain the history and traditions, and why First Nations people have chosen to gather here for over 6,000 years! That’s nearly twice as old as the Egyptian pyramids!

Outside, Wanuskewin offers over six kilometres of hiking trails that crisscross the Opimahaw Valley, featuring a sacred medicine wheel, a buffalo jump and some of the most scenic views on the prairies. Finish your day around a campfire, making bannock, then it’s time for bed inside your very own Tipi!

Kids Day Camps are available during the February and Easter Breaks. Give your child aged 7 to 10 the gift of culture. www.wanuskewin.com www.facebook.com/wanuskewin @Wanuskewin_Park

THE LAST TRUE WEST

T

HE GRAND STORY of the settlement of the West, and the conflict that accompanied it, echoes across the prairies, with tales of the Métis leaders; Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont; Cree Chiefs Poundmaker and Big Bear; Sam Steele of the NWMP and Major General Frederick Middleton.

Travel the Trails of 1885 and experience the events, sites and stories that helped form our country.

Begin your quest in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where you can visit the St. Boniface Museum, with its amazing collection of Métis artifacts and stories, as well as the birthplace and gravesite of Louis Riel. Follow the Métis frontier and travel west across the prairies to the South Saskatchewan River.

Today, the city of Saskatoon makes a convenient starting point for the rest of your exploration.

Valleys of the Saskatchewan About 70 km north of Saskatoon, experience Métis culture and heritage at Batoche National Historic Site 1 . Learn more about this historic battle by exploring the Government militia trenches, Métis rifle pits, and battlefield. Along with the restored church and rectory, the Visitor Reception Centre has extensive exhibits, audio-visual presentation, and programming to bring the Métis people’s story to life.

In the cemetery, a large river stone indicates where Gabriel Dumont is buried overlooking the beautiful riverbank.

A short distance south of Batoche, is the Battle of Tourond’s Coulee/ FishCreek National Historic Site, where the first military engagement between the Métis and government forces took place. On the battlefield, view the silhouettes of government militia exchanging fire across Fish Creek with Métis and First Nations sharpshooters. North of Batoche, take the ferry across the river to scenic St. Laurent, an early Métis settlement and home of Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine which hosts an annual religious pilgrimage.

Back on Hwy 11, the Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre tells the 1885 story from three perspectives: settlers, First Nations, and the Métis. For expansive views of the area, climb the centres 24-metre tower. Explore the town’s colorful murals depicting local history, and visit the First Shots Cairn, where a skirmish between the NWMP and Métis fighters resulted in the first shots of the conflict. To the west, on Hwy 212, Fort Carlton Provincial Park 2 recreates the golden era of the fur trade, but some of its exhibits deal with the NWMP’s hurried evacuation of the post after the battle at Duck Lake, and the resulting destruction of the fort by fire.

Battle River Country Northwest of Saskatoon, at the scenic confluence of the Battle and North Saskatchewan Rivers, the twin communities of North Battleford and Battleford (once the seat of the North West Territorial government) are rich in history. At Fort Battleford National Historic Site 4 , learn about life as a Mountie, and hear the stories of Chief Poundmaker and the settlers during those eventful days. Follow the story by traveling west of the Battlefords to Cut Knife and visit the Chief Poundmaker Historical Centre and the Battle of Poundmaker Hill National Historic Site 3 , on the Poundmaker Cree Nation.

The North West Frontier North of Lloydminster, discover the fascinating story of Chief Big Bear and his clash with government forces. At Frog Lake National Historic Site in Alberta, about an hour from the city, grave markers are a grim reminder of the Frog Lake Massacre.

Back in Saskatchewan, Fort Pitt Provincial Historic Park tells of the misunderstanding that resulted in the killing of an NWMP scout by the Cree, and the subsequent departure of the Mounties and the burning of the fort. The story continues at Frenchman Butte National Historic Site, to the east, where Cree rifle pits and the government artillery site are reminders of the difficulties Canadian militia had when they responded to the Frog Lake Massacre by attacking the Cree’s more strategic location.

There are many more stories of the 1885 North West Resistance, and its aftermath, told at other sites and museums in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba: at Humboldt, Sask., the site of the original Humboldt Telegraph Station and military camp; at Fort Edmonton (on their ‘1885 Street’), in the Sir Samuel Steele Collection at the University of Alberta, through exhibits at Fort Calgary and Calgary’s Glenbow Museum, and at the RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina. Visit them and experience the history of the last true west!
