Community organizations across PEI sponsor special prizes for the PEI Heritage Fair each year, and this year, in honour of our 50th anniversary year, the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women is looking forward to awarding special prizes for student projects on themes of gender equality and other hidden heritage.
The Heritage Fair is taking place on May 23rd, and two Council members will be on hand to appreciate students’ work and select award recipients.
“The PEI Heritage Fair program is a student-centered, inquiry-based learning opportunity that allows grades five to nine students to explore a Prince Edward Island or Canadian history topic of interest. Through guided inquiry-based learning, students are encouraged to think critically about history and its implications, acquire a sound understanding of the discipline and become more engaged in history. The grade five study of past societies and the grade six focus on Island history lend well to be tied in with heritage fair. Heritage Fair also has direct ties to grade seven and eight social studies curriculum and the study of Canadian History.” (Source: PEI Government website)
