Offered in partnership with the Elbow River Watershed Partnership, this interactive program invites Grade 8, 9, and Science 10 students to explore the Elbow River and its watershed. Students will trace the river’s journey from its pristine headwaters in Kananaskis Country to Calgary, conducting hands-on tests of abiotic and biotic factors at key stops along the way. The program emphasizes the value of water, the role of protected areas in watershed health, and the impacts of land use on aquatic ecosystems. Guided by the idea that "the river is an expression of the landscape," students will engage in meaningful scientific study and discussions throughout the experience.
