Aqsa, Madison and Ryan toured the National Microbiology Laboratory and the Canadian Blood Services Lab. Andjela and Rachael toured the St. Boniface Museum and related First Nations exhibits. Sophia and Tom toured the Boeing Aerospace plant and the Western Canada Aviation Museum. Hannah and Julia visited the Canadian Mint followed by a trip to The Forks historic area. Gillian was off to the Art Gallery. John and George took a tour of the RCMP Forensics laboratory, followed by a trip to Assiniboine Park that included a visit the botanical conservatory and a special guided tour of the Assiniboine Zoo.

The evening's theme was "Manitoba Hoedown", and nearly everyone enjoyed the music and western dancing, getting in to the spirit of things with some lively activity.

Then it's off to bed again, to prepare for the School Tours of the projects on Friday morning, and the anticipation of the Awards Ceremony and Banquet on Friday night. Another busy day to come!
