Grade 8 Students: Don’t Miss Your Chance to Win

The second annual My Canada Project writing competition, open to all Grade 8 students in the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB). Students are invited to share their thoughts and ideas about Canada, in 300-500 words, for the chance to win one of three prizes.

The contest is open to submissions from April 1 to May 15, 2021.

What do you love about Canada?

Are you proud to live in Canada? My Canada Project invites Grade 8 students to share what they love about Canada, what inspires them about our country, and what they think we could do better. Loving Canada doesn’t mean you have to be born in Canada – in fact, experience living elsewhere can help shape your understanding of what makes Canada unique.

This project aims to provide youth with an opportunity to expand their horizons and look beyond their immediate surroundings. We hope they take a moment to reflect on what Canada means to them as they begin to make decisions about their future education and life choices.
