CAC Colouring Template for grades K-6: Local Revelstoke artist Nicola McGarry has created this colouring template as a way to introduce elementary age school children to the idea of avalanche safety. Please feel free to download and print (legal sized paper is necessary). If you would like to have a colouring contest we would be happy to publish a selection of your students' efforts on our website.
Palisades Centre: Grades 10-12
The Palisades Centre (Parks Canada) has generously allowed their curriculum material for their winter programs to be displayed on-line. Please find ready-made templates for activities, activity ideas, lesson plans, marking rubrics and much more. It has been divided into seven categories to allow for easier perusing. For more information on the Palisades Centre please visit the Youth Programs webpage.
