Winners of the 2021 Virtual Heritage Fair Announced!
The 2021 Virtual Heritage Fair saw an impressive 353 Saskatchewan-based students in grades 4 to 8 produce projects about Saskatchewan or Canadian-based heritage topics. A panel of judges has determined the winners of this year’s Heritage Fair.
The Heritage Saskatchewan website features a project gallery so everyone can enjoy students’ projects that not only showcase their research skills and knowledge, but also their creative talent. The gallery will be live all summer long. Congratulations to all students for a job well done!
