Dear Educators,
The Alfred Hole Goose Sanctuary is inviting you to get a close up look at
over two thousand migrating geese as they wing their way south! We are
pleased to offer free
interpretive programming to educators and group leaders. Programs are
available for all grades (Kindergarten to Senior 4).
The Alfred Hole Goose Sanctuary is located just outside the town of
Rennie, near the central entrance to Whiteshell Provincial Park, an hour and
a half east of Winnipeg. As you visit the Canadian Shield - granite ridges,
tall pines and beautiful lakes will greet you at every stop. Our programs
are a perfect addition to a trip you may be planning in the area or a reason
to discover the beauty of the shield region.
Guided Hikes and Interpretive Programs are available on a variety of
topics. These programs emphasize hands-on activities and are designed to be
age and grade appropriate. Programs offered will be held at the Alfred Hole
Goose Sanctuary (except for some guided hikes) and are adapted to fit your
needs. You can choose from a selection of ready-made programming or request
other topics. For groups traveling through our area, the Visitor Centre
Tour is a great way to stop and stretch your legs. Picnic grounds are
available for those groups who need a place to break for lunch. The Visitor
Centre is wheelchair accessible.
