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.

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.
