Educational kit

In preparation for your visit, we offer an educational kit entitled A British Citadel in Quebec City. It is designed to be carried out as part of a 75-minute theory course, and is compatible with various Ministry of Education programs. The kit is divided into 3 activities, allowing you to adapt it to your group and your needs, and prepares students for their visit. In the various folders, you'll find "teacher's guides" containing food for thought, answers and additional information to give you the tools you need to carry out the kit in the classroom.
