Posted on 05/09/2022

Two Bluewater District School Board students are part of a team of six from Grey and Bruce counties preparing for an opportunity of a lifetime as they participate in the 2022 Virtual Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF).

Islay Graham from Owen Sound District Secondary School (OSDSS) and Saugeen District Senior School's (SDSS') Vedant Sheel will join their peers at the virtual fair from May 16 to 20.  Team Bluewater alumni Laurissa Christie and Sophia Cottrill will also be part of the CWSF Ambassador Team.  Over 350 students from across Canada will compete for almost $1 million worth of awards and scholarships, including trips to international competitions and the coveted title of being Canada’s Top Young Scientist.  To learn more about CWSF 2022, visit https://youthscience.ca/science-fairs/cwsf/virtual-2022/.

At the senior fair, special recognition was given to Best of Fair winner Islay Graham.  A full list of the medalists and award winners can be found by visiting www.brstf.org.

The Senior BRSTF would not be possible without the assistance of many volunteer judges and sponsors.  The committee thanks all the CWSF Team sponsors and encourages any organizations interested in sponsoring an award to visit the BRSTF website referenced above.
