Over 40 students from five different schools attended the South Vancouver Island Heritage Fair on May 5, 2014 at the Royal B.C. Museum. Each student presented a project that had a connection with Canadian History, with judges interviewing each student twice before compiling a list of winners. Mount Douglas had 12 project entries and captured five of the nine major awards, as well as three of five positions to move on to the B.C. Provincial Heritage Fair in Kamloops, B.C.
Congratulations to all those who worked so hard on their presentations!
