Early Explorers: Tiny Tides
Dive into a world of wonder with this splashy adventure perfect for curious toddlers! From colourful coral reefs to playful sea creatures, young explorers will discover the magic of the ocean through hands-on activities, sensory play, and stories. Little ones will practice fine motor skills by “fishing”, learn about shapes and colours with seashell sorting, and get creative with ocean-themed crafts. This program is designed to spark curiosity and inspire a lifelong love for the sea, all while engaging tiny hands and big imaginations!
Registration will open to members on Wednesday, January 7th at 9am. Registration for the general public will open on Friday, January 9th at 9am.

Anthropology in Our Backyards - Tse'k'wa: A 12,500 Year Old Archaeological Site in Northern BC

Anthropology in Our Backyards – Tse’k’wa: A 12,500 Year Old Archaeological Site in Northern BC
Richard Gilbert (Sites and Sounds Consulting)
Farid Rahemtulla (Department of Anthropology, UNBC)

Tse’k’wa (“Stone House” in Dane-Zaa), located in Charlie Lake, north of Fort St John, is the oldest known archaeological site in the interior of the province, and it is a designated National Historic Site. Also known as Charlie Lake Cave, the site was excavated by Simon Fraser University during the 1980s and 1990s. That research revealed a 12,500-year history of Indigenous use of the area, along with evidence for changes in the environment and resources. At the invitation of the Tse’k’wa Heritage Society, the UNBC Archaeology Field School has been working at the site since 2022, with a focus on exploring the subsurface area away from the cave. In this presentation, we summarise the work and findings from the combined projects, and illustrate the importance of this site and of the deep Indigenous history of the province.
This free public talk is open to everyone. Cash bar available.

Homeschooler Monday: Slime Science
Is it a liquid? Is it a solid? In this workshop, kids aged 6 to 10 will explore the weird and wonderful world of matter through slime-tastic experiments! Young scientists will whip up stretchy slime, roll their own silky soft cloud dough, and get messy with oobleck—the strange substance that’s sometimes liquid and sometimes solid. With plenty of hands-on squish, stretch, and science, this session makes chemistry come alive in the most unforgettable way!
