BCHFS Travel Support for Outreach in the Kootenays
The British Columbia Heritage Fairs Society is indebted to THEN/HiER for its generous contribution and support to provide workshops for teachers, students and parents in Creston, BC. Our hope was to use travel funding to a maximum of $1,600 to send facilitators to School District 8 (Kootenay Lake) to support the professional development of teachers in the administration and planning of heritage fairs, to spark student interest in heritage fair projects for 2016, and to support the needs of homeschool parents with respect to heritage fair projects for 2016 and beyond. Although we had intended to send two facilitators, we decided to send one due to the anticipated numbers of participants.
