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 9:00am 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 3 additional adults to chaperone the tour. The school bus has a maximum of 42 seats available.
Booking Information
Tours are limited and will be offered from April 11 to June 10, 2022. Registration opens March 1, 2022. Please register online. We can accommodate a Grade 4/5 split, but we regret that we can’t substitute other school grades at this time. Please email for more information.
School Program
Enhance their learning! To get the most out of the tour, we recommend you explore drinking water related topics in the classroom using appropriate information from a complimentary educator’s kit. Our Grade 2 “Every Drop Counts” and our Grade 8 – 12 “Water in Our Community” educator’s kits include lesson plans, videos, maps, classroom water monitoring kits, and much more that could be adapted for Grade 5.
