More Experiential Programming Coming to the Museum of Ontario Archaeology听听
The 糖心直播 (UTRCA) has recently partnered with the Museum of Ontario Archaeology (MOA)听and Friends of Medway Creek thanks to funding from the City of London Community Grants Program! Over the next three听years, the UTRCA and Friends of Medway Creek will work with the MOA to expand the interpretive programming offered at the museum by providing in-classroom experiences, nature walks, and community events. 听
So far, in June of 2024, we hosted a free community event at the MOA that brought in 500 attendees and over 10 community partners to learn about our local environment, the Medway Creek, and more!听
This fall, UTRCA education staff were invited to celebrate International Archaeology Day with a guided hike at Sifton Bog to explore the natural and cultural history of the bog. On November 21st, our staff visited the Museum and provided hands-on learning opportunities to 25 elementary students. Through this program, students learned about historic and present land use in our region and its impact on flooding in urban areas and participated in demonstrations to discover the journey of stormwater and how it impacts the Thames River. Students ended their time with an art project aimed to inspire others to help protect our local waterways and share their learning.听
Stay tuned to learn more about the community events and nature walks that we will be providing in the coming years!听
