Regional Heritage Fair - Wednesday, April 25

The Annual Grand Erie Regional Heritage Fair is where history is celebrated by students in Grades 4-8, sharing their Canadian content history projects. History came alive with the fifty two projects that were judged from seven different schools as well as a number of homeschoolers in the one day event. Throughout the day, workshops were held and displays were being looked at. The school was abuzz with over 300 people participating as display people, judges, volunteers, particiapates, and visitors during the fair and its Open House.  The day ended with a presentation about life during the War of 1812 and then over 40 prizes were awarded among were a number of cash prizes and two trips to Toronto for the two day Provincial Fair in Toronto.

 Fairs begin as hands on classroom projects – students research an area of Canadian history, often of local or family interest, and present their discoveries using the medium of their choice. Students’ original presentations may include table top dioramas, performance pieces, or power point projects.

By looking at our past, we can see that God is a faithful God! By looking at our past, we can also become more appreciative Canadians.
