Kids enjoyed getting out with Parks Canada staff

Parks Canada Outreach Program staff enjoy working with kids and local students enjoy learning from them — a lot!

Recently a group of young students visited Craigellachie with Outreach workers Alice Weber and Verena Blasy. Arrow Heights Elementary School kindly thought to share pictures of their outing with the larger community.

We hope you enjoy them…
