October - Learning Experiences

For the next generations...
©Parks Canada

Learning is one of the joys of life. While learning we grow, we come to appreciate new ideas, we deepen our understanding; we get involved and feel alive. At Parks Canada, learning has a special importance. By knowing our places, people will care about them, take care of them, and care for them into the future. Learning builds the legacy that is Parks Canada.

This month, we present learning experiences, past, present and future in various forms. Whether it is through school trips, family outings at the beach, through reading a magazine article, walking on an interpretive trail, trying a heritage recipe on Heritage Recipe App, making travel plans on the Web Site, listening to bird song, tuning into a podcast about the HMS Investigator, or simply while enjoying a quiet moment to take it all in, you will be sure to retain something from your experience in our protected areas. Follow us this month and discover the myriad of learning opportunities Parks Canada offers.
