Judging Day!

Tuesday was the first day of Judging for the Fair. Everyone was ready to go bright and early, and from 9:00am until 4:30pm (except for an hour for lunch) our team was in the Exhibits hall talking to the judges (or waiting to do so). Our students report that the judges asked lots of questions, which is always a good sign, and seemed very interested in the projects being presented. There will be some more judging tomorrow, primarily for the special award categories.

Following dinner we gathered for a special presentation on International Polar Year with a panel discussion by three of Canada's world-renowned Polar scientists. The audience heard about the leading-edge work being done and had the chance to ask questions of the experts.
We were back at the residence by 9:00pm for some 'early to bed' time, a fact appreciated by our hard-working team!
