Education Programs

The Prairie Dog Central Railway offers Education Programs from May to the end of September. We've made it easy for everybody to learn about Western Canadian history and how the railways played an integral part of the building of today's communities.

Travelling from Inkster Junction Station to the rural community of Grosse Isle. Relax onboard our 1900 era passenger coaches led by one of our Diesel locomotives as our onboard volunteers will tell tales of how settlers and immigrants travelled through Western Canada.
At no additional cost we can arrange an onboard presentation and a tour of the Prime Meridian Trail. Passengers can detrain at the wye with an expert who will walk through the trail observing various plants and species that have made the trail their home. The walk takes approximately 20 minutes.

When you book an Education Program you can bring your own lunch onboard or we can work with the Grosse Isle Heritage Village volunteers who can provide a freshly prepared lunch for an extra cost. Lunch options can include but are not limited to hotdogs, smokies, chips, salad, fruit and desserts plus hot and cold drinks.

After a brief presentation about the crops and products grown in the area, students will have the opportunity to play matching and sequencing games that reinforce what they learned about how and where their food is grown. Each student will then get to “plant their own crop” to take home and watch grow.The cost is $6 per student.  Minimum 30 students per group.

Add a ‘Farm Gate to Plate’ snack for an additional $4 per student. Snacks include a choice of beverages and homemade baked item or produce.
