Regional Science Fair Program

Each year during March and April, Power Pioneers act as BC Hydro ambassadors at Regional Science Fairs held throughout the province. The Power Pioneer role includes judging science projects created by students from grades 4 to 12 specific to the BC Hydro Power Smart category, selecting the winning project and presenting the Power Smart Award to the winner. The award consists of a Perpetual Trophy, $100 and a Power Smart Award Winner Certificate. 

“To be awarded to a student who creates a project which creatively demonstrates electrical conservation and its environmental, social and economical impacts.”

The enthusiasm and excitement generated by the students, not to mention their considerable skills, communicates itself to our Power Pioneer volunteers, making this a favourite annual event.

If you would like to become involved or would like more information, please contact Rene Sampson, 250-753-5458 or samco@shaw.ca.
