Sask. students showcase projects at annual heritage fair
The annual Provincial Heritage Fair took place at Government House in Regina on Wednesday, with 46 projects from across Saskatchewan shown.
Thousands of heritage projects were first created by students from Grade 4 to Grade 8. Those who made it to the provincial finals first had to win at their local school level and regional heritage fairs.
The goal was to thoroughly research and then display something about Canada. Grade 5 students Vienna Dietrich and Kaybree Kleemola discovered many interesting facts about the Canadian Arctic, including the diverse wildlife and geology.

'I really liked learning about the different minerals and landscapes that are in the Arctic, cause it gives the arctic that different look than the rest of Canada. And I also really like learning about how the animals keep warm in that freezing cold weather,' Dietrich said.
Saskatchewan's Lieutenant Governor Bernadette McIntyre toured the fair and chatted with many of the students. The projects were judged on Wednesday morning and seven awards were handed out after the fair.

Young minds explore big questions at National Science Fair
Sarah Plowman has the story of the 63rd annual Canada-wide Science Fair in Fredericton, N.B. showcasing some of the country's brightest scientific minds. Canada's brightest whiz kids converged on Fredericton, N.B., this week for a national science fair, showing off their research projects and hoping to earn a chance to win some of the event's $1.3 million in prize and scholarship money. Reni Barlow, executive director of Youth Science Canada, said his organization is on a mission to engage youth in doing projects through STEM -- Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. 'It's a way of understanding what science, technology, engineering and math are really about and experiencing it firsthand,' said Barlow, adding that topics range from aerospace to natural resources and climate change. The nearly 400 students competing were previously recognized at one of 100 regional science fairs in Canada. Six universities are providing scholarships to medal winners. The weeklong event wraps up this weekend. Sara Waqas, a 16-year-old from Calgary's STEM Innovation Academy High School, won the award for Best Project in the Discovery category. She focused her project on schizophrenia and treatment, developing a prototype molecule that would target schizophrenia patients who are currently treatment-resistant—which she points out is about a third of patients. 'I look into neurobiological profiling,' she said. 'I designed a prototype molecule that would target those defects, rather than just being like a large, nonspecific treatment.' Waqas says her research is all 'very preliminary' and that more validation tests and research need to confirm it. Evan Budz, a grade 9 student from Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School in Burlington, Ont., won the award for Best Project in the Innovation category. After getting inspired by the fluid movement of a snapping sea turtle, he created a robot that moves like one. 'I thought it'd be interesting to try to replicate it with a robot that would have a much lower impact on the swimming environment, compared with more traditional propeller-based systems,' he said. Budz's robot uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and monitor threats in aquatic environments, such as invasive species and coral bleaching. 'I'm working at adding more in the future,' he said. 'This allows a variety of important organizations to go and conduct remedial efforts in these areas, essentially allowing them to improve the health of aquatic ecosystems.' Mateo Jarquin, a first-year CEGEP student at Champlain College-Lennoxville in Sherbrooke, Que., developed a robotic hand called F.L.E.X (Fully Leveraged Exo-Hand). The hand tracks and mirrors finger movements in real time and can be remotely controlled from anywhere in the world with a camera. It doesn't require gloves or physical attachments. His cousin, who lives in Ontario, tested it and was able to control the robotic hand. 'And he was able to control the robotic hand from Ontario all the way to Quebec, as if it was his actual hand in front of me,' he said. 'This type of technology could one day be used to perform tasks that are too dangerous for humans, such as disarming a bomb or performing space station repairs. Maybe even surgery from across the world could all be possible.' Sarah McGrath, a grade 10 student at Halifax Grammar School in Nova Scotia, focused her project on whether she could make fish feed for aquaculture by growing microalgae with recycled fish byproducts, like bones, tails and eyes. 'This microalgae is rich in Omega-3s, which is important because fish don't produce Omega-3,' she said, noting that the important dietary nutrient for human health is sourced from what fish eat. She said her method is a cost-effective and sustainable way to grow microalgae. 'This matters because fish stocks are depleting and the quality of our fish is rapidly decreasing,' she said. 'My results show that there's potential to use even more fish byproducts and utilize this waste that exists.' Amy Clark, a 15-years-old from Sanford Collegiate in Sanford, Man., combined her passion for physics and the environment into a research topic and looked at which Prairie province has the highest amount of radon in its soil. In her study, where she sampled soil from a few spots in Manitoba, along with Regina and Calgary, Manitoba had the highest levels of radon. She explained that increased levels of radon in soil can attribute to health risks, noting that radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. As fun as it was to build the project, Clark is also excited to be at nationals, saying the event is more than just talking about your project. 'It's about making friends and meeting new people. Connecting with people who are like-minded individuals,' she said. 'They love science. You love science, so they're really easy to talk to you.'

Antarctic treaty under stress as member countries gather in Italy
Social Sharing For 65 years, an international treaty forged at the height of the Cold War has governed Antarctica. But with rising geopolitical tensions, consensus is increasingly hard to find. "Up until just a few years ago, we talked about the Antarctic Treaty as a framework for peace and stability in the Antarctic region, and the Arctic as a place of relative stability," said David Hik, chief scientist at Polar Knowledge Canada, an agency focused on strengthening polar science and technology in Canada. "Now, both of those assumptions are being challenged." Fifty-eight countries, including Canada, are signatories to the Antarctic Treaty, which preserves the continent for scientific exploration and peace, and bans military and mining activity. But only half the signatories can vote on treaty business. Canada wants to secure voting rights as a so-called consultative party, and will make its case again at the Antarctic Treaty meeting in Milan, Italy, later this month. But there have been barriers to this. "Canada's claim to be a consultative party has been blocked, first and foremost, by Russia," said Klaus Dodds, a political biographer and Antarctic expert at Royal Holloway, University of London. "And the reason is, Russia wants its ally Belarus to be made a consultative party alongside Canada." WATCH | Who owns Antarctica? It's preserved for peace and science, for now: Who owns Antarctica?

She dives into the geopolitical tensions at the remote Southern Pole, explaining what's happening in the region and what's at stake. In March, a first-ever all-Canadian expedition sailed to Antarctica on HMCS Margaret Brooke, with 15 polar scientists hosted by the Canadian Navy. The Canadian Antarctic Research Expedition (CARE) 2025 mission conducted weeks of research and visited multiple countries' research stations on the continent, in part to raise Canada's profile at the southern pole. CBC News got exclusive access to the expedition. To capture the voyage CBC's international climate correspondent Susan Ormiston, producer Jill English and videographer Sam Martin spent a month aboard the Margaret Brooke broadcasting live via satellite, sending news of the voyage back to Canada.

Hunting for climate change clues in Antarctica The polar regions are changing faster than other parts of the world, due to climate change. Antarctica's ancient glaciers are receding and sea ice reached near-record lows this year, both of which contribute to rising global sea levels. "The Antarctic ice sheet contains enormous amounts of fresh water, and as the ice sheet thins and melts in places, calves at faster rates, that's going to affect global sea level change," said Thomas James, chief scientist on the CARE 2025 mission. "What happens in Antarctica doesn't stay in Antarctica," he added. The southern ocean is a huge carbon sink and helps regulate the global climate. But warming ocean waters may disrupt those patterns, said Brent Else, co-scientific director at MEOPAR, which supports ocean research and training at Canadian universities. "As oceans warm as circulation patterns change, it's expected that ocean carbon sink will slow down over time. And the polar regions are the areas where those carbon sinks are most important," he said aboard HMCS Margaret Brooke.

"Canada is, and forever will be, an Arctic nation, and we can never take our sovereignty and security in the region for granted," Prime Minister Mark Carney said on a visit to Iqaluit in March. A year ago, the Royal Canadian Navy began to plan a deployment to Antarctica to support scientific exploration and enhance its knowledge of geopolitical pressures at the southern pole. "We can see climate change in the North, we can see what China and Russia have been doing in and around the Canadian North, [and thinking] I wonder what's going on in the South Pole, and [can we] get the perspective and experience of the South American navies that are down here all the time," Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee told CBC News in an exclusive interview. The idea, he said, was to "do some science, and see if we can figure out things that can help us better protect and defend our own North." Topshee believes there are security concerns in Antarctica that threaten its stability. " I am concerned that the whole agreement that we would not [militarize and mine Antarctica] … would, could change. And I don't think that's in our interest to allow that to change easily."

The Canadian Navy says yes 1 day ago Duration 7:02 'Nighttime is always about what you can't see' To voyage across the Antarctic Circle, HMCS Margaret Brooke sailed into some extreme weather and ice-clogged channels. As an Arctic and Offshore Patrol Vessel (AOPV), it is designed to break through new ice up to a metre thick. But with rapidly changing weather patterns, the ice moves and shifts, so that an open channel one day can be clogged with ice the next. An ice specialist from the Canadian Coast Guard, Donavan Tremblay, and an officer with the Chilean Navy, Javier Idiaquez, travelled with the Margaret Brooke crew to help chart a safe path. Even so, there were unexpected blockages, and navigating at night presented even more challenges. En route to Rothera Point beyond the Antarctic Circle, as the weather deteriorated and the ice encroached, Cmdr. Teri Share had to make a decision about whether to proceed. "It was a heightened level, absolutely," Share told CBC News from the captain's quarters on the Margaret Brooke. "We can take all the precautions that we can take. We can use all of the information that is provided to us. But still, there comes a point that it's on me as the commanding officer to say yes or no." In the end, Share made the call to push further south, with the crew threading the vessel through icebergs and sheet ice to reach Rothera Point, the ship's final destination, and the most southerly point the Canadian Navy had ever travelled. "It feels like just yesterday you and I were on the bridge, and you were asking me what [is the Navy] going to be doing down there, and what was I excited about," Share told the CBC's Susan Ormiston. "It's gone by really quickly," Share said, reflecting on the historic mission.

Vaccine research, innovation group launches at UW School of Pharmacy
Researchers at the University of Waterloo are looking for ways to get vaccines to underserved areas. CTV's Spencer Turcotte has more on that initiative. Improving access to vaccines across Canada is the goal of a new research effort based out of the University of Waterloo. The School of Pharmacy launched a new research collaborative on Friday, thanks to a $300,000 investment from the biopharma company GSK Canada. 'There are many groups that are underserved in terms of vaccines,' professor Nancy Waite explained. The funding will help address that very problem. 'We know there is a huge barrier to immunization, often with individuals in underserved communities or individuals who are older,' said Michelle Horn, the country medical director at GSK. The Pharmacy Innovation and Immunization Research Collaborative (PIIRC) will not only focus on vaccine access, but delivery and education too. It is something pharmacy students say comes at a vital time. 'It's important now, with certain outbreaks of infectious disease, to support these programs,' said student Aaron Lau. 'The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The best time for a vaccine is now.' 'In recent years, the scope of practice for pharmacists has expanded to allow us to administer more vaccines,' said Jonathan Fang, another UW pharmacy student. The new collaborative wants to leverage that. 'We know there are pharmacies in the majority of communities, 90 to 95 per cent of individuals in Canada live within five kilometres of a pharmacy,' said Waite. Delivery, however, is only half the battle. The researchers will tackle vaccine misinformation and vaccine hesitancy, while also looking for easier ways people can track what shots they already received. While infectious diseases continue to pose a threat, the hope is their work will help the entire country be better prepared for future outbreaks.
