The Exploration Place Air Quality School Program
The Exploration Place Museum located next to Fort George Park is offering a school program specifically exploring air quality and the impacts poor air quality has on health. This field trip is most appropriate for primary or intermediate students. If your school is located within 5 kilometres of The Exploration Place, consider taking students to the museum by means of active transportation such as by bicycle. Attending the school program could become a day event, promoting active living and clean transportation by bicycling both ways and refuelling with a picnic lunch in Fort George Park.
