Our amazing 11 Ottawa Regional Science Fair (ORSF) finalists travelled to Edmonton, Alberta to participate in the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) from May 14 to 19, 2023. This the first in-person CWSF since 2019; it was a great opportunity to see friends, new and old, talk about cool science and make lasting memories.
A big thank you to all the teachers, volunteers, family members, mentors, sponsors and everyone who helped support our Finalists! Great work Finalists!
