Travelling Education Kits
Enrich your classroom with our First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Education Kits, thoughtfully developed by Indigenous educators to support authentic, meaningful learning. Designed for Grades 3 and 5 and available in both English and French, these kits help teachers embed FNMI knowledge across all areas of the curriculum. Each kit includes hands-on materials, contextual information, and guided activities that encourage students to explore and engage with FNMI knowledge.
We encourage you to contact the Museum to book a kit for your class.
Classroom Visits
Bring the Museum experience directly to your classroom with our engaging outreach programs! Designed to fit your schedule and learning goals, our in-class visits combine hands-on activities, artifacts, and storytelling to spark curiosity and deepen students’ connection to history. Whether you’re exploring the Welland Canal, investigating artifacts up close, or diving into curriculum-based themes, our educators deliver dynamic, interactive sessions that enrich learning, without leaving the school.
