School Tour Details (Grade 5)
Educators of Grade 5 students and your class are invited to a free half-day tour that offers a first-hand look at how water gets from the source to your tap. The tour explores a drinking water reservoir, the surrounding forest and the water disinfection process that ensures the water delivered to your tap is clean and safe to drink. A school bus will pick you up at the school at 9am and have you back at school by 12:30pm. The bus and driver are part of the program and will be with us for the tour.
Requirements
We require a minimum of 20 students, the responsible teacher and a minimum of three additional adults to chaperone the tour. The school bus has a maximum of 42 seats available.
