Immerse Your Students in History!
Join us for a day of hands-on learning at the Renaissance and Medieval Festival – where history comes alive! Students in Grades 3 to 6 will explore the fascinating world of knights, castles, and kings while discovering the vibrant cultures that existed in Canada during this period.
Renaissance and Medieval Europe Meets Indigenous Canada
