Do plants have a Circadian rhythm? Can dogs understand English? Can colour affect your memory? Want to know more about magnetic levitation, volcanoes, drippy diapers, allergies, bacteria at school, or soil erosion? These topics and more will be on display at the 43rd annual United Counties Science Fair this Saturday April 7th at Saint Lawrence Secondary School in Cornwall.

 If you are the parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent of a child attending any of the schools in the three United Counties or the district of Akwesasne then this fair is of interest to you. The “Science on the Wall” category will showcase over 200 science posters by grade 1 to 5 students and the “Science Fair” category will feature over 96 grade 6 to 10 students from 17 area schools displaying and explaining their projects. This is an excellent opportunity for you and your family to see our budding scientists, engineers, researchers, and community leaders of the future!

Public viewing will take place in the school gymnasium from 8:30am to 2:00pm, followed by a Science Spectacular show from 2:30pm to 3:30pm, then the awards presentation in the cafeteria from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. We will be awarding approximately $12,000 in prizes, awards, scholarships, and trips, including the opportunity to represent our regional fair at the week long Canada Wide Science Fair in Ottawa in May!

On April 28, we remember all the workers hurt or killed on the job through injury or occupational illness.  The pain of the injured and lives of those lost must not go unrecognized and unaccounted for.  This is why the Day of Mourning must also be an opportunity to renew the fight for the living.  Let the lives lost be a call to action for every worker to demand a change in workplace cultures and practices to ensure all workers return home safe and sound. On Saturday April 28, please join us at 10 AM at the Firefighter Memorial Garden, Clifford Hansen Fire Station, 240 East Street to pay tribute to lost and injured workers and to commit to prevention of future occupational injuries and diseases. 

This event is sponsored by the Sarnia & District Labour Council, The Victims of Chemical Valley, the Occupational Health Clinics for the Ontario Workers and the Workers Health and Safety Centre.
