Day 6 - Awards Day !!!!

Today started quietly enough - sleeping in until 8:00am, our latest yet! - and the day began with the Secondary School tours. For the most part the tour visitors and the occasional VIP visitor didn't give a lot for the kids to do, though Adam did get an interview by Sun TV at one point... Otherwise it was a rather low-stress morning of talking to other students and having some pictures taken at the projects.

Lunch was "grab and go" sandwiches, since we had to get back to change into our spiffy clothes for the Awards Ceremony. Shortly after 1pm it was on to the buses and on the way to Roy Thompson Hall...







Roy Thompson Hall certainly gave the Awards Ceremony a touch of class, and it was very well done, with a brief musical intermission by Canadian singer Suzie McNeil. Then it was on to the Bronze, Silver and Gold Medal Awards...


Bronze Medal for Nick and Adam!


Bronze Medal for Gaven !


Silver Medal for Patrick !


Gold Medal for Calvin !

An excellent showing by Team BASEF, though there is no doubt that this year our projects were all terrific and any of them could have been the winners tonight. Congratulations for all of Team BASEF and the excellent work that everyone has done on their projects and their efforts at Canada-Wide!

Once the Awards Ceremony was complete, there was a bit of time to visit with relatives and others, and then off to the Awards Banquet ! The food was great (and very fancy)... top-notch treatment for some top-notch students!



After the Banquet it was time for the Awards dance. Some of the Team was a bit tired from the day (and week's) events, and so called it quits a bit early, though many stayed until the very end after 11pm.



But in the end everyone got back and off to bed, another Canada-wide awards day complete.

Great work by everyone on Team BASEF !!
