Here are just a few of the many comments that the North Shore Waterfront Industrial Association has received from teachers following their experience with the North Shore Waterfront program:
- This program is a valuable contribution to the Social Studies program. We had been focussing on Canada and its neighbours, particularly trade, using Vancouver harbour as a focus.
- We like the students to get out and experience their environment. The harbour tour enables the children to see the harbour from a perspective they normally wouldn’t have. The industry rep also brought a real world perspective to our studies.
- The children really enjoyed the harbour tour especially the dancing tugboats.
- The entire program is great. I have been waiting for years for such an awesome program!!
- There was so much offered. The children had hands on material for the first session.
- It fits in well with the curriculum and is an excellent way to introduce resources.
- I liked the way the students were involved at all times.
- It was a good introduction to our harbour. Variety of resources: maps, slides, overheads and export products had important information that kept the students focussed.
