Our programs to Northern Ontario and Quebec provide students with a first-hand look at industries which shaped our nation and northern communities, and of course Native culture, history and traditions.

Offer your students the opportunity to experience the history and geographical diversity of Canada and to learn about the challenges of living in the far north!
