WELCOME TO THE SCIENCE FAIR FOUNDATION

The Science Fair Foundation BC serves to support, organize, stage and fund-raise for Science Fairs in BC. This extends to Local, Regional, Canada-Wide and International Science Fairs where students supported by the foundation have consistently produced high standard projects.

In British Columbia, 14 regional fairs are part of the nearly 100 fairs held every year across Canada. Each fair is affiliated with the Youth Science Foundation Canada (YSF). Science fairs in British Columbia are supported by the Science Fair FoundationBC which is located at the BC Innovation Council.

This website is intended to

  • assist teachers and students with science fair projects
  • to recognize the success of BC students
  • thank our sponsors for their generous support - of our activities.
