KiHS Students Chosen to Attend Science Olympics at York University!

Six very excited KiHS students are preparing to attend the York University Engineering and Science Olympics on Tuesday May 6 of this year. These KiHS students have been chosen as representatives from First Nations schools in Remote First Nations communities in Ontario. They will leave their communities and fly to Toronto on May 3rd and back again on May 7th. They are busily preparing their strategies for competing with 70 other high school teams from all across Ontario. This is a great opportunity and a great honour for these students!
