Youth Science Canada – Sciences jeunesse Canada (YSC) has been engaging Canadian youth in scientific inquiry since 1962 and celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its flagship program, the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF), in May 2011. The National Science Fairs Program engages over 500,000 kids each year, who work in schools and homes across Canada on projects based on our resources. Our 102 affiliated regional science fairs in every province and territory – including 22 in southern Ontario – support local teachers and provide approximately 25,000 students with the opportunity to showcase their projects, participate in STEM-based activities, and interact with scientists, engineers, and educators who evaluate their work. In 1996, YSC was a recipient of the Industry Canada (now NSERC PromoScience) Michael Smith Award for Science Promotion and was honoured in 2003 by the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC) with its Community Hero Award for innovative use of information technology. We are inspired by the potential of Canada's youth to improve the world and increase our country's prosperity; we make programs and resources to help realize that potential.
