The Longwoods Conservation Area and the Upper Thames Military Reenactment
Society can only accomodate a certain number of children. Registration will be on a first come, first served basis.
Those beyond our capacities will be placed on a waiting list and contacted if space opens.
In addition, groups will be asked to sign up for which stations they wish to attend. Groups will be
sent a complete list of stations when they register, but your selections will not be confirmed until a deposit is received.
The cost per student attending education day is $7. A deposit of 50% will be due on April 1st and
the balance will be due on arrival. Cheques should be made out to 'Longwoods Heritage Days'
Cheques should be sent to:
Longwoods Heritage Days
695 Berkshire Drive,
London, Ontario
N6J 3S4
Please be as accurate as possible when telling us how many students you will have attending. Because
we always have schools on the waiting list, we will require the final number of students you will have attending by Monday,
April 28th at 5:00pm. If you have not updated your numbers by that time, you will be charged for the number of students
you intially registered.
Education Day is held outside, rain or shine at the Longwoods Conservation Area (for directions,
please see our Battle of Longwoods page) from 10am until 2pm. Please ensure students are dressed and prepared for all forms of weather.
Education Day involves students moving through presentations that give them different perspectives
on the War of 1812. Each registered teacher will be sent a template for a booklet with questions
relating to the War of 1812. They will be able to answer most of the questions from the presentations.
Students should bring a litterless packed lunch. There is nowhere to buy food at the Conservation
area.
For any questions regarding Education Day, contact Chris McKay or Glenn Stott at 519-828-3843.
