The Galt is hosting the Southern Alberta Regional Heritage Fair for students from grade 4 - 9.
The fair program encourages students to explore Canadian heritage in a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. Preparing and presenting a heritage fair project helps students develop critical thinking, historical thinking, writing, research, performance, and public speaking skills. These projects are initially shown in the schools and the best are chosen to present at the Southern Alberta Regional Heritage Fair.
