Plan a Family Staycation: Visit FortWhyte Alive!

FortWhyte Alive’s 640 acres encompass a wide diversity of wilderness and wildlife – making for incredible sights, sounds, and discoveries, and ensuring that every visit is truly a unique experience. With this in mind, in the fall of 2010, FortWhyte decided to embark on a challenge to bring the wonders of our facility to visitors from near and far, via a new public offering – FortWhyte alive ecotours.

“ We learned so many interesting facts about bison and their impact on us/ the development of Canada that I couldn’t even keep it all in my brain...

It was an absolutely amazing experience to be so close to such beautiful animals. I one million percent recommend this experience!”

FACES OF FORTWHYTE

NATURE NOTES

Starting out as a Fox Bay Camp Co-ordinator in 2003, Barret worked seasonally with FortWhyte until 2007,

when he joined the Education Team full time. Our Special Projects Interpreter wakes up each morning and smiles,

because he’s found a career that combines his love of people, nature (especially

forests), and adventure at FortWhyte!

Q. What’s the strangest thing you’ve done as part of your job at FortWhyte Alive?
