Countless explorers have come to the Arctic regions, many attracted by the rich and unusual web of life that makes life in the far north so unique. From thousands of beluga whales to giant herds of caribou, tundra wildflowers to the great boreal forest, the fascinating mix of cultures in a small northern town and the traditions and heritage of indigenous cultures of the region, this workshop offers you the opportunity to become an Arctic explorer as you discover the incredible diversity of this remote region.

Journeying by train, boat, tundra buggy and on foot, you learn about what makes the Arctic so special and what makes conservation in the Arctic an on-going challenge. Preparatory curriculum explores the cultures of northern Manitoba and the remarkable biodiversity of three very different biomes: the tundra, the taiga and the Arctic waters of the Hudson Bay.
