Port in a Box is a comprehensive field study guide designed to help teachers use the Port of Vancouver as a dynamic and educational out-of-doors classroom. This guide provides students with a series of "hands-on" activities that give them a greater understanding of Canada's largest port, and its economic importance to Vancouver, British Columbia, and Canada.

Port-in-a-Box is a portable plastic container filled with cargo samples (coal, grain, sulphur, sugar, potash, phosphate rock, wood chips, sand and gravel, canned salmon, copper concentrate, machinery and equipment), maps, a teacher's manual, posters, videos and other collateral materials. This self-explanatory kit can be signed out from a School District Resource Center in British Columbia by any teacher whose class is studying Port Vancouver.

If you can't come to the Port, the Port will come to you! Every year from May to September, the community relations staff become the 'Portable Port Crew' and take the port on the road. Our energetic and knowledgeable staff will come to you and give your group an overview of the Port which includes extensive visuals such as cargo samples, a video presentation, maps and other paraphernalia. Call us at 604-665-9179 to find out more.

For more information, please contact your School District Resource Center in British Columbia or contact the community relations staff at Port Vancouver - tel: 604.665.9179 or fax 604.665.9181.
