Everybody is home safe and sound... it was a long travel day today, with everyone out of their rooms and ready to board the buses by 6:00am.
It was a two and a half hour bus trip to the Calgary airport, then a short chance to grab lunch, and on to our flight... which included a short stopover in Winnipeg on the way home. Happy to say that nobody got left in Manitoba accidentally, and we all arrived safe and sound on Saturday night.
And that's it for the Canada-Wide Science Fair for another year. Fantastic results with 11 of our team coming home with medals. The entire team worked very hard and had great projects, and even more than that all of the team were terrific representatives for our region and for their schools.

All of us chaperones, and in fact all of the BASEF organizers and volunteers, are so very proud of the students on this team. Thank you all for being respectful, funny, hard-working, and just plain amazing. It was a privilege spending the week with all of you, and best wishes wherever your future endeavors take you.
