Big Marble Community Classroom Learning

What is a Community Classroom?

A Community Classroom is an opportunity for cultural and educational immersion!

This innovative curriculum-based program moves student learning “beyond the classroom” into a community venue for a period of days, not hours – this is more than a field trip! 

There has been a shift in education practice that moves away from subject-specific content and emphasizes “big ideas” that span multiple subject areas. With this in mind, the Community Classroom allows for engaging, concept-based learning in a unique, historical community space. Children learn best through active engagement, in other words, by doing!

The Community Classroom learning experience offers teachers and students the opportunity to move beyond their classroom to a community venue for hands-on, multi-sensory, experiential learning. Meeting Alberta Education learning outcomes and curriculum expectations through meaningful, cross-curricular connections to the real world, this experience enhances active student learning. Students and teachers use this new “classroom” to engage in learner-led, inquiry-based learning and exploration through tours, journaling, viewing, observation and a host of creative interactive activities.

North America’s original extreme sport returns 

Indian Relay Racing tasks teams of riders with racing around our track and switching out horses every lap. Teams in this newly formed circuit will compete to qualify for a spot at next summer’s Calgary Stampede.

This event is organized in collaboration with Travel Alberta and Indigenous leaders and experts to ensure the essence of Indian Relay Racing is respected and preserved. It is a celebration of North American Indigenous culture, and it’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such an unforgettable success!

Indigenous Artisan Market

The Stampede also hosts an Indigenous Artisan Market alongside Indian Relay Racing in the Grandstand Ballroom. This free market features hand crafted goods from local Indigenous vendors, opening a few hours before the races begin and remaining open during the event.
