This year is all about Alberta, as We will be together studying this province we call home. We will explore the geographic, cultural, Language, economic and historical characteristics that define Alberta. As we together reflect upon the people, places and stories of Alberta, we will develop a sense of place, identity and belonging within Alberta...and yes, we'll of course be studying fossils!

Stories. People. Alberta.
"Stories provide a vital opportunity to bring history to life. Through stories, people share information, values and attitudes about history, culture and heritage. Stories are communicated through legends, myths, creation stories, narratives, oral traditions, songs, music, dance, literature, visual and dramatic arts, traditions, and celebrations. They can include or be supported by biographies, autobiographies, archives, news items, novels or short stories."
-- Social Studies ProgrAM OF STUDIES
This year, we focus on the stories and histories of the people that shaped our province. These stories provide all Albertans with a sense of belonging, connecting us to the values and identities of the people that settled this land. Through stories, we, as Albertans, begin to understand the complexity and interconnectedness of our communities: past, present, and future.
