Educational Programs

DIG FURTHER into the past through our educational programs which will give you access to unforgettable hands-on experiences!

Apart from standard tours, The Northern Life Museum & Cultural Centre offers a variety of programming year long to school groups, daycares, youth organizations, tourists and individuals. These programs are accessible to all and can be tailored to any age group. These programs are offered during our regular hours of operation but special considerations for after hour programming can be made with advance notice.
