We welcome 30,000 students per year. These come from the national capital region, but they also come from across Canada for those who can afford a field trip to the city, but that is a small number.
We also work with a network of natural history museums and do all we can to promote their school visit programs, because the provincial and territorial museums have their own school visit programs, and in many cases the subject matter is very similar.
It's not an experience with a national institution, but it is a connection with natural history and an understanding of our natural world.
That's really how we extend the reach rather than trying to do it ourselves.
