Here is what other visitors have to say about our programs:
We took the tour on Sunday, July 24, 2011 with Joanne as our tour guide. Joanne did an absolute and exceptional job explaining the history of The Forks and the role of Parks Canada for the historical site. Most interesting and fascinating too! In closing, thanks again to Joanne and much appreciated.
Even though we had arrived too late for the tour, Joanne showed us some neat artifacts and took us though the history of the area! Thanks for bringing history alive for us!!
Joanne did a great job of the tour on The Forks. The Kids enjoyed “acting”. It was great!
