On May 27, 2005, the SMARTer Kids Foundation welcomed 65 grade six students and their teachers from across North America to Calgary, Alberta, for an exciting week of interpretive tours, activities and excursions. This visit celebrated the students’ two-year participation in the Connections program with an opportunity to meet one another face to face.

During their week in Calgary, the students and teachers visited the following attractions: the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, the Banff Gondola, the Calgary Zoo, Lake Bonavista Elementary, The Calgary Police Canine Unit, the Royal Tyrrell Museum and Heritage Park.

The students and teachers stayed at camp, where they engaged in a variety of activities aimed at building friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
