Nutrien Wonderhub expands free school access visits for 2025-26

SASKATOON — Nutrien Wonderhub (Wonderhub) is proud to continue delivering its School and Community Access Visits during the 2025–26 school year, made possible through the generous support of the Community Initiatives Fund (CIF). As Saskatchewan’s only children’s museum, Wonderhub is committed to creating opportunities for children to learn through play in safe, welcoming, and inclusive spaces through the Access Program. School and Community Access Visits ensure that preschool and school-aged children can experience hands-on learning without financial barriers to participation.

Through these visits, classrooms and groups receive a fully funded field trip including bus transportation. Each field trip includes a facilitated play-based educational program designed and delivered by Wonderhub’s Education Team, and dedicated time to explore the museum’s interactive exhibits. These experiences connect classroom concepts to real-world discovery and spark curiosity in every child.

Between September 2025 and February 2026, Wonderhub will offer 75 fully funded field trips supporting over 2,000 children.

“As Saskatchewan’s only children’s museum, Nutrien Wonderhub is an essential community resource where children can learn, grow, and imagine their future through the power of play,” says Leah Brodie, CEO of Nutrien Wonderhub. “We are deeply grateful to the Community Initiatives Fund for their generous support, which helps remove the financial barriers that too often prevent children from accessing enriching learning experiences. By investing in programs like School and Community Access Visits, CIF is opening doors for thousands of students to connect classroom learning with hands-on discovery.”

“This program gave our students an opportunity they wouldn’t have otherwise had. As an educator in a community school, it means a lot to be able to go to Wonderhub for hands-on learning,” says Roe Rodiguez, teacher at St. Maria Goretti School in Saskatoon. “My grade one students explored and imagined in spaces such as hospitals, animal care, construction building, bakery… helping them develop curiosity, social and life skills while imagining who they could become in the future.”
