Virtual Field Trip
Program Description

Our FREE interactive virtual 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 and how their lives are connected to the port throughout the two sessions. There are also activities to do offline that encourage:

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

Our two-part virtual field trip is for grades four, five and six classes with our community outreach coordinator. For more information and to book please go to our website

Part 1: 60 minute presentation (intro to the port and five business sectors)
Part 2: 60 minute presentation (sustainability, international trade, occupations and review)

Note: we use MS Teams or Zoom as the online platform.
