The registration for this year's Science Fair has opened - and they will continue to accept registrations until March 9, 2011. The link to the website for all information is at http://www.orsf.ca/. The site for the Ottawa Regional Fair is Carleton University, and the date is Saturday, April 1st and 2nd. The Canada wide Science Fair is being hosted in Toronto this year. Congratulations to all students who entered the Science Fair last year.

There is support available for the students, through either VROC (virtual researcher on call http://www.vroc.ca/), or through mentoring matches with experts in different fields in the community. VROC can be used by anyone with their class, separate from Science Fair support as well - many different topics are available, and many researchers are volunteering their time to do this.
