School Programs

These curriculum-based school programs provide students and teachers with hands-on opportunities to learn about Alberta’s natural resources through inquiry and exploration.

Important Changes for 2018-2019:

The Sam Livingston Fish Hatchery is closed to the public during the 2018-2019 school year. The hatchery is currently undergoing major renovations to its water treatment system to reduce water consumption, reduce energy use and protect against current & future diseases.

Programs that have entered the Fish Hatchery in previous years have been adapted to provide alternative learning experiences that support existing programs and Alberta Education’s Program of Study.
