TA-218

Parks and Heritage Interpretation

This course introduces theoretical and practical applications of heritage and environmental interpretation and education. Interpretation is an educational activity which aims to reveal meanings and relationships through the use of original objects, by firsthand experience, and by illustrative media, rather than simply to communicate factual information. Students will develop an understanding of Canada's park systems and the role Heritage Interpretation has on park tourism at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. Students will develop and practice skills and knowledge required by front-line park interpreters, outdoor educators, tour guides, and parks and museum staff.
