Educational Kit

To prepare for your visit, we offer an educational kit titled A British Citadel in Quebec. It is designed to be completed as part of a 75-minute theoretical lesson and aligns with various programs from the Ministry of Education. The kit is divided into 3 activities, allowing you to adapt it to your group and needs, and prepares students for their visit. In the various folders, you will find "teacher's guides" containing discussion points, answers, and additional information to provide you with the necessary tools to implement the kit in the classroom.
