Humane Education for Classrooms

Calgary Humane Society works with local educators on teaching children about human rights, environmental preservation, empathy, and animal protection as interconnected and integral dimensions of a healthy, just society. There are several ways educators can bring these educational resources to their students—though field trips, presentations, and virtual learning.

We believe that all young people deserve the opportunity for Humane Education programming, so we do have subsidies available to help cover the cost of the program. Please contact us for further information about subsidized programming and bussing for your classroom.

Community Group Tours

Tours are also available for groups outside of school who would like to learn more about our animals and what we do. These tours are open to Scout groups, Girl Guide groups, and others—even a group of curious friends. Tours consist of a 30-minute presentation about Calgary Humane Society and a 30-minute tour of the facility, where you’ll have a chance to meet the animals and learn about how we can help them have long and happy lives.

Tour Fee: $50
