2011 Canadian Chemistry Contest - April 19, 2011

Hello BC Chemistry teachers!

My name is Amanda Whiting and I am the current BC/Yukon Regional Coordinator for the Canadian Chemistry Contest (CCC) and the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (CCO). I am trying to get the word about this contest out to as many schools and as many motivated chemistry teachers as possible.

If you are unfamiliar with these exams - the CCC is a national exam that is meant to challenge the top 10% of chemistry students in Canada. Prizes are awarded to the top three students in each of the six regions of Canada. 

More info on the CCC can be found here: http://www.chemistry.ca/index.php/ci_id/1852/la_id/1.htm

The CCO is a more extensive exam that is used to select a group of students to participate as Canada's team in the International Chemistry Olympiad. The finals are held in Toronto in June. This year's international event will take place in Turkey.

More info on the CCO is here: http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/IChO.Ontario/en/general.html

Both of these exams will be held on April 19, 2011. The official invitation and registration forms are now available from me as regional coordinator. The ideal registration deadline is April 1st. If you are interested at all in more information or registering some students to participate, please feel free to send me a message! I am more than happy to answer any and all questions you might have!

Cheers and thanks for your time,

- Amanda Whiting
