This award-winning program allows teachers to move their classrooms to such locations as the Calgary Zoo, Glenbow Museum and Calgary Science Centre.

The program has flourished and this year close to 6,000 Calgary students and their teachers will spend a week at one of ten sites. Gillian earned a Ph.D., an M.Ed., an Early Childhood Diploma, and a B.Ed. (with distinction) from the University of Calgary and also holds a B.Sc.
