We chose two programs: one about the sturgeons which involved great interactive games and activities, and then the more scientific one in the afternoon where the students had to test and evaluate the turbidity of the water. We had our snack outside along the boardwalk which in itself is quite interesting. There are plenty of benches to have picnic lunches at that also provide a great view. Recommend paying for a few less students than usual because there will not be refunds in case there is a student who is sick or absent, but you can pay the extra once you are there, if there is a full class attending.

What an interesting place to find out more about the area and the river history. The staff are helpful and provided a lot of additional insight into the area.

This place is absolutely crammed with military memorabilia. Photos, uniforms, guns, you name it is here. Even General Montgomery's dress jacket is on display. It is more like an Aladdin's cave than a museum and maybe lacking with information on some things but still a fascinating place to spend an hour or so. Most of the exhibits have been collected and brought back from conflict areas from all over the world. It is only open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11-3. Well worth a visit.

The Royal Westminster Regiment has a wonderful long history and a great collection. This museum is one of the few places in the B.C. Lower Mainland where one can see a great variety of historic military firearms displayed. It is well worth a visit for military history buffs. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The staff here makes this facility one of the best I've visited for youth sports. Every single staff I have ever engaged in the many years of visiting Moody arena have always put a smile on my face from exceptional people skills. Good job to the hiring employer.

Decent sized Park with several paved trails, a dog area, outdoor pool, ball fields, Splash Park, playground, and a youth center. About half of the park is covered with trees but still open with lots of areas to picnic or relax in the shade. A bike trail runs across the park.
