The Land-Based Education Program at Bedford Road Collegiate sees Grade 9 students and teachers using an environmental approach to learning that recognizes the deep connection and relationship of themselves to their place in the world and to the land. Students will take part in a variety of activities which may include daily bike trips, canoeing, walking, as well as numerous field trips to experience the areas in and around Saskatoon that can enhance the curriculum and increase student understanding of their place and the impact they can make in our immediate surroundings and global community. Highlights include: Learning in an alternative setting, being active, exploring the outdoors and connecting to the land developing new relationships and skills to become engaged members of the community.
