5.6 Education

Aulavik and other national parks can be important teaching and learning opportunities for K-12 students in the ISR . Parks as a subject can provide the basis for topics such as the need for protected areas, traditional knowledge, economic benefits and career opportunities, land use history and environmental stewardship.

• Inuvialuit education authorities in conjunction with Parks Canada, will explore the inclusion of Aulavik and other national parks in the ISR on the curriculum in local schools.
• Inuvialuit education authorities in conjunction with Parks Canada, will follow up on the success of the organized field trip to Aulavik for students at the Sachs Harbour school that was held in 1996. The costs and logistics of a three year cycle for park field trips will be evaluated.
