Kids in the Park: A Leadership Volunteer Program for Kids in Our Community
Author:
Slemko, Jean
The Kids in the Park Pilot Project involves children in learning about Banff National Park by identifying issues in the Park and helping recognize an area they can lead in building a solution. The children involved in the program are sponsored by Parks Canada employees, who teach about the mission and vision of Parks Canada as well as about the problems facing the Park today.These sponsored children may then go on to host field trips for their classes, lead in-class presentations with Parks Canada technology or even develop a radio program for Parks Canada radio or Banff’s local radio station.We expect to deliver project results by May 2009. Presentation from the 2009 Parks Conference hosted by the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association.
