Loughborough, Glenburnie students Selected for Provincial Heritage Fair

Jun 12, 2014

Two local students who participated in the Kingston Regional Heritage Fair will join 68 other students from across Ontario at the Provincial Heritage Fair in Toronto this Saturday.

Loughborough’s Cameron Anderson, along with classmates Adam Hull and Brett Wilcock, have completed a project called “The Effects of Colonization on the First Nations”. The project is about what the Europeans did when they first started colonizing North America and how it affected First Nations. It states the major and overall influence of the Europeans and how this impacts the way Canada is today.  

Isaac Banks, a grade 7 student at Glenburnie Public School, called his project “The Battle of the Hochwald Gap” It explores Canada's involvement during the Battle of the Hochwald Gap in WWII.

Aimed at students aged nine to 15, the heritage fairs are designed to inspire young people to explore personal and collective Canadian experiences in any number of media – displays, painting, sculpture, prose, music or computer-based projects. The delegates at the provincial fair represent the more than 20,000 Ontario students who participated in the 2014 Fairs program.
