Program Description & Details

Our FREE Port of Vancouver Discovery Centre field trip experience is specifically designed to support grade four to six students’ curriculum guidelines, as outlined by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. Your students will learn about Canada’s largest and most diversified port through activities that encourage:

  • learning through doing, touching, watching, hearing and reading
  • reflection and inquiry
  • thinking critically and creatively
  • communicating individually and in groups through actions, words and pictures

This is a free, 90-minute interactive fieldtrip experience where students get to learn how their lives are connected to the port and see the connection by observing the working port around the Burrard inlet.

Build on your students’ awareness of the importance of trade in our lives, as well as the role that we play in facilitating trade, through activities such as:

  • Connecting your port city trivia challenge: Students answer questions and test their knowledge of the port on touch-screen panels.
  • Cargo match: Students work together as terminal operators and try their hand at loading various cargo types in this ‘get up and go’ activity.
  • Enviro quiz: Students discover what makes our port a sustainable one, while thinking critically about environmental stewardship during this fun, object-based guessing game.
  • Scavenger hunt: Students get to explore more about the port by looking for answers on our touch-screen panels.

Book this FREE and exciting school program at the Port of Vancouver Discovery Centre (located at Canada Place). If you have any additional questions, please contact: education@portvancouver.com.

Program Description & Details

In this two-hour program developed in collaboration with Kwakwaka’wakw Chief Robert Joseph, students discover the ongoing importance of the Kwakwaka’wakw potlatch. Students will engage with themes of transformation, ancestry, oral history, and rights and privileges by learning from cultural belongings in the MOA teaching collection.

A guided gallery exploration encourages active looking and listening, and students are asked to draw a potlatch belonging of their choice before reporting and reflecting on their findings to the rest of the class. Students will finish the program by watching a short film showing the sights, sounds, and ceremony of the Kwakwaka’wakw potlatch.

To book this program, please submit a booking request.
