As a follow-up to the announcement that our 2020 fair has been cancelled, feel free to explore these two options: Students can still create and submit a video on this website. http://kids.canadashistory.ca/Kids/Jeunes-Citoyens/C-est-parti-!
There is also a virtual fair sponsored by Canada’s history Society. https://mailchi.mp/canadashistory/canadas-virtual-heritage-fair
The Red River Heritage Committee has decided that at this time it is prudent to cancel our fair scheduled for May 6, 2020. We understand that this will be a disappointment for your students but these are unusual times.
The Young Citizens program, where students may create videos on a volunteer basis, will still be operating, so please encourage your students to participate!
Looking forward to a successful fair in 2021!
In honour of Manitoba’s 150 Anniversary, the RRHF Committee will be sponsoring an award for a ‘Manitoba’ themed using the Historic Thinking concept: continuity and change
Themes for Manitoba 150 Anniversary
May 6, 2020
We are asking teachers and students to take note of the suggested themes and create their projects around them, using Historical thinking concepts. Topics of your choice are also welcome, reflecting the 150th theme using the Historic Thinking Concepts

The Art Category at the Red River Heritage Fair and Symposium needs your entries!
Let your creative students shine!!
To celebrate our 15th anniversary and the adoption of our new and improved name, we are offering 3 Art category slots to any school! These are over and above the number of slots you qualify for because of your school’s participation numbers. Or, you may be a school that only wishes to enter the Art category!!
Students are required to prepare an artist’s statement as well as some brief information about their art piece and how it connects to Canada. Any process work such as preliminary sketches etc. would also help show judges the creative process.
Registration is the same as for our traditional research projects: students will participate in workshops, have two judgings and receive participation certificates and medals.
