Two Locations – One Fantastic Museum Royal Saskatchewan Museum
T.rex Discovery Centre
The Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) offers educational programs for students of all ages – from pre-Kindergarten up until Grade 12.
The T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend is just the place for students and teachers who are wild about dinosaurs.
Starting in January 2015, teachers will be able to experience the RSM’s brand-new educational programs – their most engaging and interactive to date! Programs strive to align closely with the Saskatchewan school curriculum and relate closely to the museum’s areas of focus: Aboriginal Studies, Life Science and Earth Science. Teachers can find information on programs, including booking forms, at http://royalsaskmuseum.ca/education. Teachers are welcome to lead students through the galleries on their own. Just call 306-787-2815 or email education@royalsaskmuseum.ca to give us a heads up. Looking for something to supplement your RSM tour? Download information sheets from http://royalsaskmuseum.ca/ education/royal-saskatchewan-museum/teacher-supervised-visits. Tours and programs are free. A suggested donation is $2 per student. Donations help support all of the RSM’s programs, exhibits and services. The museum, located at 2445 Albert Street in Regina, is open from 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. daily.
It is the home of a full-sized replica of Scotty, Saskatchewan’s Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, one of the largest and most complete in the world. Programs are offered for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Classes can participate in a guided tour of the gallery, watch The Dinosaur Hunters – a documentary about the discovery of Scotty – in the Canada Discovery Theatre, and learn about Saskatchewan dinosaurs, fossils and micro-fossils through interactive programs that align with the provincial curriculum. Educational Programs are available in May and June and are free. Donations of $2 per student are encouraged to help support the museum’s programs and services. For more information, visit www.royalsaskmuseum.ca/education/ trex-discovery-centre. To book, email trex.centre@gov.sk.ca or call 306-295-4009.

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.

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 are consequences for mistakes or not following direction. It also creates a stronger bond between teachers and students when teachers get involved in the games. With quite a few courses and different scenarios to choose from, we should have something for everyone!

YoUr sCHool CoUld Help Us FInd oUT! University researchers in conjunction with Manitoba government want to learn how two predator species interact at the edge of the Arctic. Do wolves predate on bear cubs as they come off the sea ice in July? Are mother polar bears affected? Is climate change and early melting ice a factor? This is new and fascinating (and fun!) research in an unstudied ecosystem. A few schools in North America can participate by sponsoring a GPS collar to track “their” wolf for a $400+ contribution. Students can learn about eco-systems, predators, biodiversity, GPS tracking, and link to participating schools. Deadline is Oct. 18/2014. Research begins in 2015. Participation is limited.

Spirit Way Inc. Thompson, Manitoba has become the Wolf Capital of the World, with numerous wolf pro-jects underway in the areas of research, ecotourism, conferences, conservation, public art, human dimensions study, Aboriginal culture and more. Situated in northern Manito-ba’s wilderness boreal forest region, wolves have lived and preyed here for thousands of years. With no ranching and little farming, human/wolf conflicts have not been an is-sue, as in many other parts of the world. There has been very little scientific study done in northern Manitoba on wolf movements, diet and population. There are many un-knowns. One wolf author stated, “You are living in a researcher’s dream world.” Wolves and their prey (deer in the south, moose in the forest areas, caribou in the taiga region and polar bear interaction along the coast of Hudson Bay) in Manitoba’s biomes offer unique study opportunities. A research team has been gathered, with Dr. Marco Musiani and Dr. Paul Galpern from University of Calgary, to study the wolf and polar bear dynamics along Hudson Bay coastline at the edge of the Arctic. A limited number of schools will be allowed to participate by receiving and tracking GPS data of radio collared wolves and getting reports from the researchers. To learn about wolves, polar bears and climate change in one study project is unique and somewhat ground breaking. Schools that participate from different provinces, states and countries will be able to link to each other and learn about northern predators, and also them-selves, living in different parts of the world. Schools from northern Manitoba, USA and Italy have expressed early interest. It will be a fascinating interaction at different levels. Options for study and learning will be discussed. We anticipate significant media attention.

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!
