ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ

The ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ played host to another great ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ Youth Science Fair April 15-19. Held at the Olympic Oval for the third consecutive year, the annual citywide event celebrated the work of nearly 1,000 students in grades five to 12. A strong team of 12 finalists from ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ will be heading to the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Windsor this May. Sujay Nagaraj has been selected to represent ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ at the Intel International Science Fair in May in Los Angeles.

Chancellor Jim Dinning congratulated all participants on their projects and encouraged them to apply to the ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ when preparing for post-secondary education. This year's best overall project winner was Ankita Saxena, grade 12, for her project, Protein Aggregation States in TBI & AD. Saxena received the top prize of a Chancellor's Club Bursary totaling $2,500.
