Mr. Puffer Goes to Provincial Parliament: A Study of Government in Perspective

History comes alive in this program that immerses grade 6 students in a role-play experience of early Alberta historical figures and events, including a mock election. The program compares the issues, roles and responsibilities that existed for the first parliamentarians with those working today. Due to the immersive nature of the Mr. Puffer program, teachers should book the program at least 3 weeks in advance to properly prepare the students for this unique experience.
