Welcome to the Festival du Voyageur Great-West Life School Program Online Guide
The Festival du Voyageur Great-West Life School Program, through its many workshops and activities, offers your students a front row ticket to a unique learning experience on the historic character of the voyageur and their day-to-day life. Activities are open to all ages, from preschool children to senior students. Since 1987, an average of 12,000 students attend the Great-West Life School Program every year. We wish to thank you, devoted teachers, for believing in this Program and offering your students the opportunity to learn more about the history of Manitoba.
The Great-West Life School Program offers a basic package of activities that are repeated annually. These activities are very well anchored in the history and folklore of the fur trading period and/or are the most in-demand activities. Around this basic package are other related themes and activities presented in rotation every few years, thereby offering greater variety over time.
