This summer, Parks Canada and the Churchill Northern Studies Centre offer
archaeology enthusiasts a chance to get a hands-on experience. Discover
what life
was like at the fort as you excavate, screen and document your discoveries
in the
field. Travel daily by boat across the Churchill River with beluga whales
in pursuit
and perhaps even catch a glimpse of those famous polar bears. Participate in
lectures on related topics and interact with a dynamic group of scientists
who study
this fascinating region.
