Bridging the Gap (BTG) is a unique environmental education program. We provide classrooms and groups in low-income neighbourhoods with free, nature based programming.

We have recently refreshed our program offerings and created a vision for the future. Contact us for opportunities for the 2024/25 school year.

Students are given opportunities to engage in a variety of stewardship activities such as full-day field trips to local natural areas, activities at school, and through the implementation of schoolyard or urban (inner-city community) gardens.

Programs are led using a 'Two Eyed Seeing' approach, celebrating the strengths of Indigenous ways of knowing and being on the land, combined with non-Indigenous facilitation to create an enriching Forest and Nature School experience. Learning is child-led, inquiry based and addresses specific outcomes from the Manitoba Curriculum. Learn more about our programs.
