Due to recent CBEEN program funding changes, we will now offer price options for Wild Voices for Kids programs.

We ask that teachers ensure that a program does not violate their school and/or district policies before booking. It is the responsibility of the teacher to confirm program suitability and communicate needs and questions to the Community Educator that is delivering the program.

Beaver buddies is a fun, interactive program that introduces students to one of the most critical species in Canada - the beaver! This program can be taught at a nearby wetland to any school in the SD5 region, or modified to work in an open field. We learn about how beavers help create new wetland ecosystems, and how we can learn to live with them and appreciate their engineering skills!
