Three students have been chosen out of 70 to represent Richmond at the 2014 BC Provincial Heritage Fair in Kamloops, from June 29 to July 3. In early May, 70 students from Richmond presented their projects at the Richmond-Delta Regional Heritage Fair.
The heritage projects and their winners were: Clara Hughes, by Yonatan Marom, Grade 4, Whiteside elementary; The History of Rapid Transit, by Vedanshi Vala, Grade 7, McNeely elementary; Nobel Winner Alice Munro, by Veronica Xia, Grade 6, Cornerstone Christian academy.
The City of Richmond chose the projects because of their "thoughtful consideration of historical significance, extensive research and creative display."
In total, there will be six projects representing the Richmond-Delta region at the Provincial Heritage Fair, with the other three coming from Delta schools.
The BC Provincial Heritage Fair will bring together 65 students from the twelve regions of British Columbia.
One of the highlights of the fair will be the public showcasing of student projects during Kamloops' Canada Day celebrations at Riverside Park on Tuesday, July 1.
