An inaugural donation from the TELUS Community Action Team towards Barkerville’s Educational Programming: K-12 School Students ensured the historic town’s school program was action central at the start of Barkerville’s 150th anniversary season.
Students and teachers have experienced Barkerville’s exceptional history for decades through Barkerville’s award-winning, curriculum-based interpretive school program. Thanks to TELUS’s recent gift, Barkerville’s sesquicentennial season launched to much additional fanfare, and much needed supplies in May.
Barkerville used the TELUS funds to help facilitate the comprehensive schedule for children who participated in the 2012 school program, as well as purchase materials and supplies required for the implementation of fully-immersive, educational experiences.
Other valued supporters to Barkerville’s Educational Programming: K-12 School Students include BC Hydro, the RBC Foundation and the Tweedledum Foundation.
