Schools get summer off to a great start





We have had lots of students visiting the Joggins Fossil Cliffs and Centre for their end of term school visit. The latest school to visit was Advocate School, from Advocate Harbour, a stunning coastal village along the coast from Joggins.

The elementary school brought along their students, who all came ready to explore and to discover and they weren't disappointed! Their visit included a tour of our exhibit gallery, where they saw spider, scorpion and reptile fossils. The children also tried their hand at fossil excavation, one of our programming activities, and explored the beach, looking for fossils they had learned about in the gallery.

The Cliffs are the best place to enjoy a real 'hands on' experience and students enjoy the opportunity to tie learning in with discovery.

If you are planning a school visit, call 902-251-2727 and see what other activities we can offer your educational group, be they Primary or Grade 12....or even elder learners.
