Program Specific Information
1. To get the most out of the program, it is helpful if students have some basic knowledge about government; i.e. the names of the three levels of government, names of political leaders, the reason we have government, etc.
2. Before coming, remind students:
- this program is not “an outing”, it is a “work day”
- dress appropriately - afternoon activities are completed “rain or shine”
- good sidewalk etiquette is required - walking in pairs behind each other and leaving enough space on the sidewalk for other pedestrians
- bring an extra bottle of water - no drinking fountains
- all program materials, including pencils and clipboards, are provided
3. Students need two TTC tickets: one to get to the program and one to return to school.
4. Although lunch is in St. Lawrence Market, students should bring a packed lunch and a drink - time is limited and the booths are often very busy. TUSC is a Platinum EcoSchool -
Waste-Free Lunches are expected!
