Awards Night!!

Friday began with school tours through the fair projects. Unfortunately most of the visitors in the tours were not very interested in the projects at the fair, so there was a bit of boredom in our students throughout the morning.

After lunch things got a lot more exciting, however. A quick change into our formal clothes and we were on our way to the Awards Banquet. Our gang got seated and the ceremonies began!



It should go without saying that everyone who made it to the Canada-Wide fair is already a winner, having won at their local and regional fairs, competing out of a total of about 500,000 science fair projects done every year in Canada.

This year's Canada-Wide fair included about 475 projects, and there were 350 awards presented, offering over $1 million in prizes.

Without further delay, here are the Team BASEF winners for 2009:

Sophia and Gillian : Honourable Mention and Bronze Medal
Ryan : Honorable Mention
Madison and Hannah : Bronze Medal
Sylvie and Emily : Bronze Medal





Congratulations to the Team BASEF winners, but even more importantly congratulations to all of Team BASEF for their excellent projects and hard work to make it to the Canada-Wide Science Fair. Good Work everyone!

The Awards Ceremony was followed by an excellent Awards Banquet dinner, and then another Dance that was a hit with many of our team.

The schedule has been keeping everyone very busy this week, so we haven't had as much time to pass along more details, but more information and pictures will be posted shortly. For now, it's time for bed before another busy day tomorrow that includes Public Viewing in the morning, and project take-down after lunch.
