Information about attending the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF)

The MSSS judges will award the top four students in grades 7-12 with an all expenses paid trip to the Canada Wide Science Fair to compete at the national level. This year the Canada Wide Science fair will be held in Fredericton, NB, May 31 - Jun 7, 2025.

A few important things to note about this event:

• Students can only compete at one Regional Fair for their chance to go to CWSF. For example, if a student competes at WMSF and does not win, they cannot then go and compete at a Winnipeg regional fair for another chance.

• Parents do not accompany students on the trip to CWSF. Students are accompanied by an experienced chaperone from the WMSF committee. This chaperone will meet with parents before the trip to answer all questions and provide information. CWSF is well organized and safe for students.

• Students attending CWSF are expected to display respectful and sportsmanlike behaviour. Although it is a competition, the top priority is the experience of the event. Most students do not win medals or awards at CWSF, and although this can be disappointing, it is expected that a positive attitude will be maintained for the duration of the event.

• If you are one of the top four WMSF winners awarded a trip to Canada Wide Science Fair, but are not able attend, we ask that you let the WMSF committee know within a few days of WMSF (April 8) so that we can give the spot to another student.
