The History Centre started 2014 off with historical fun (and why not)! January 7th was the launch of our Grade 4 Connections to the Peoples program at the Fort Saskatchewan Museum & Historic Site. The Connections to the Peoples program is designed to elucidate general and specific curricular outcomes outlined in the Alberta Social Studies Grade 4 Program of Studies. The program focuses on the impact that early western exploration, the Fur Trade, and the decline of the bison had on the settlement of Western Canada. The Connections to the Peoples Grade 4 program is the perfect introduction to our Connections to the Law and Connections to the Land Grade 5 programs.
