Cardston Map of Alberta showing location of Cardston

Cardston is a town nestled in the rolling hills of southern Alberta and only minutes from majestic Waterton Lakes National Park.  

Students in Cardston were inspired by the students from Magrath and Stirling Elementary.  After viewing the work that these students brought forward from their communities, the students of Cardston also decided that they wanted to examine the questions and issues around the bylaws in their community.  Classroom teacher Charlene Berry worked collaboratively with Galileo mentor, Judy Martin to design a collaborative discipline-based inquiry for the bylaws of Cardston.   Further explanation of teacher planning, resources, assessment, and curricular connections as it was adapted for her classroom can be found on the "Bylaws - Then and Now: Cardston" planning website.
