Wootton, "to inspire them as much as possible.”
To that end, they have brought interesting people and displays
to the fair — such as the liquid nitrogen display a few years ago,
and corporate displays from B.C, Tel and Skeena Cellulose.
This year they have invited Professor Dick Williams, assistant
Dean of Education at University of Victoria. Over the past week
Williams made. 30 presentations to elementary and primary
classes.
Beginning on Monday with presentations all day at Thornhill
and Copper Mountain, Prof. Williams entranced his audiences with
hands-on demonstrations throughout the week. The wind-up will
be on Saturday with two special science shows at the R.E.M. Lee
Theatre at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., everyone invited. In addition, a
workshop, banquet and lecture with Dr. Williams was held on
Wednesday for teachers and interested guests.
"We are so pleased to have Prof. Williams," said Wootton. "He oe | / a
creates so much interest in science. Nancy Bose: the primary kids are
keen.

"And we are also very
fortunate to have the sup-
port of many organizations
such as the Rotary Club for
our fair. Altogether, the
27th annual Science Fair
promises to be once again a
very successful venture.

"Its real value is the
opportunity it gives all of
us to focus on science for a
whole week,” Wootton con-
cluded.
