Assiniboine Park & Zoo School Field Trip Funding Application
Assiniboine Park Conservancy Field Trip Funding Program

As part of our mandate to create accessible programming, we have created an array of programs suitable for all ages, backgrounds and skill levels.

We have secured funding to assist Manitoba schools with program fees and a portion of the transportation cost to Assiniboine Park & Zoo.

If your class is in need of field trip financial assistance please submit the form below. Priority will be given to low socio-economic and rural schools, but all applications will be reviewed.

If you are applying for more than one class, please submit each class separately. Each class is required to complete an online evaluation post-program.

Summer funding (July-August) is limited to only one per facility, regardless of the number of classes.
