阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's department of lifelong learning and fort william historical park hosted an event to mark the grand opening of the tallships adventure learning centre (talc) on wednesday, july 7. the event took place at the fort's wharf area.

the talc facility, situated within the fort's naval shed and operated by the department of lifelong learning, features a unique indoor challenge course program comprised of a variety of stations that challenge people to work together in order to solve physical tasks in an adventurous, fun-filled environment.

dr. tom puk, professor and chair of the lifelong learning department, designed the learning adventure facility. his inspiration for the concept is derived from the maritime activity that occurred during the fur trade era and the "tallships" (schooners) that facilitated the shipping of materials that could not be transported by birch bark canoes to the fort.
