In that time we will match a volunteer to your request, and start a dialogue between you and the volunteer to customize the presentation to your students' needs. Currently 'Rocks and Minerals' and 'Light and Shadows' volunteers may be available at shorter notice.  :: request online or call 403-263-6226. |
