P.E.I. students show 'excellent' projects at heritage fair
'They've been working on their projects for a long time and it really shows'
Students from across P.E.I. presented their projects at the Provincial Heritage Fair on Thursday at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
It's the 23rd year for the fair, which brings together original projects from students in grades five to nine.
Charlotte Stewart, the co-ordinator of the fair, said it's always an exciting time for students.
"They've been working on their projects for a long time and it really shows, the quality of their work," she said.
"And a lot of the judges are telling me that the projects are so excellent that it's really hard to pick the winners."
Max MacIsaac, a Grade 6 student at West Royalty Elementary, earned the City of Charlottetown Prize for his project on the history of the Warburton family. James Warburton served as mayor of Charlottetown for three terms, and is credited with implementing the city's sewer system.
