Their projects will be reviewed by more than 500 volunteer judges, who will determine who wins an award and also who qualifies for a spot in the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Fredericton, N.B., in May.

The 2025 CYSF will be held on Friday and Saturday.

Public viewing will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, followed by award presentations between noon and 2 p.m.
