Dear Teachers,

The Education Programs at PAMA encourage, engage and enhance an understanding of the heritage and culture for people ages 1 to 100+. Experiences are animated through the use of art, objects and documents, increase motivation for learning and create space for creativity and interaction.

Our mandate is to share the story of Peel by providing opportunities for creative exploration and discussion to help build cohesive communities. Situated in downtown Brampton in beautifully retrofi tted historic buildings, PAMA is an inspiring setting for learning and developing creativity.

We hope to see you soon!
