Heritage Building Scavenger Hunts (only available May through September)

Then and Now Scavenger Hunt

Connect the past and the present through the Fort St. John North Peace Museum’s Then & Now Scavenger Hunt.

Students will find objects and answer questions about similarities and differences between the past and present. Aimed at Grades 2 and up (or kindergarten/Grade 1 if groups led by teacher/adults who can write answers to discussion questions). This scavenger hunt takes 20-30 minutes to complete.
