Okanagan Regional Heritage Fair

A Heritage Fair is a showcase of history projects created by students from grades 4 to 10. Students research and create projects highlighting some aspect of Canadian history to present to their classmates, parents and others at a school fair. In 2015 over 4,000 students displayed their work in schools across the province.
After the school fairs, some students are invited to take part in one of the 13 Regional Fairs across British Columbia. Last year, over 1,100 students participated in Regional Heritage Fairs supported by 600 volunteers. At a Regional Fair, students present their project to the public, are interviewed by judges, receive a wide variety of awards, and take part in engaging heritage activities. Following these Fairs, some students are chosen to showcase their projects at the Provincial Fair, held this year in Victoria. (source: BC Heritage Fairs)
