Early Colonial Settlement school program
What it actually looks like
What the children do
An hour and a half program at the museum about the changes in family life in the Comox Valley brought about by new technology and early colonial settlement, set against the thousands of years K'omoks First Nation had lived on their territory beforehand. It includes a slide show introduction to Comox Valley history, a tour of the exhibits, and an interactive session with artifacts and an activity. Clothing, tools, food, education, housekeeping and entertainment, past and present, are examined through hands-on experiences. The price is published against a maximum of 30.
Watch a short slide show, walk the exhibits, then sit with real artifacts and handle clothing, tools and household objects while comparing them with what they use now.
Good to know
Ninety minutes at the museum, up to 30 people, with artifacts to handle. Toilets, lunch space, bus parking and how far ahead to book are not stated.
