Celebrating Young Scientists
Do you love science and have questions about how processes around us work? Do you have an idea of how you could help improve a problem in the world? We call all students from Grades K-12 in the Fraser Valley region (Langley, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Hope, Mission, and Maple Ridge) to design a science fair project and positively affect our world through scientific discovery!
Each year the Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair invites students from the public, private, and home schools in the region to present. Students can participate as a class, group, or individually. At the regional level, students compete for thousands of dollars in cash and prizes including the chance to join Team BC and represent the Fraser Valley at the Canada-Wide Science Fair, all expenses paid.
The Canada-Wide Science Fair is returning to Fredericton, New Brunswick in 2025. The dates have been set for May 31 - June 7, 2025. The Fraser Valley Region will be working towards sending our finalists to Fredericton to compete in person.

June 2024 - We are so proud of our FVRSF Team: Xauni de Figueiroa, Justin Yu, and Dennis Golubev for representing the Fraser Valley at the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) held in May. Justin and Dennis brought home bronze for their project, "How successful is zinc oxide as a photocatalyst at removing C13H18O2, or Ibuprofen from wastewater, with the greatest efficiency?"
There were 48 students representing 11 regional science fairs from across BC and the Yukon. Among these talented students, 31 emerged as winners at the CWSF. The week was packed full of competition, a sightseeing tour of Ottawa including a visit to the Museum of Nature.
Special thanks to Jasneet Brar, from R.E. Mountain Secondary School, for chaperoning our team. We couldn't have done this without her.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the generous support of our sponsors!
See you next year!
April 2024 - On April 11, we welcomed 115 projects and over 155 students from across the Fraser Valley to compete at the 31st Annual Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair. Over 55 awards were donated by our regional and provincial sponsors and handed out at our Awards Ceremony on April 19.
The grand prize was an all-expense paid trip to represent the Fraser Valley alongside Team BC at the Canada-Wide Science Fair being held in Ottawa, Ontario May 25 to June 1 to compete on the national stage! Xauni de Figueiroa from W.J. Mouat Secondary School, Justin Yu and his partner, Dennis Golubev, from R.E. Mountain Secondary School will be representing the Fraser Valley in Ottawa. Jasneet Brar, FVRSF Committee member and teacher from R.E. Mountain Secondary School will accompany our team to Nationals! We have no doubt they will represent the Fraser Valley with pride!
Fateh Malhi, grade 6 student from Eugene Reimer Middle School won the Science World Class Trip for his project "Expanding our Horizons". See full list of winners.
October 2023 - We are happy to share that Justin Yu, Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair finalist who attended the 2023 Canada-Wide Science Fair in Edmonton had the opportunity to join other finalists from across the country at this year's MILSET Expo-Sciences International (ESI) in Puebla, Mexico from October 21-27, 2023. This international event brings together students from nearly 60 countries to showcase the creativity of young scientists from all over the world. Team Canada brought home the Best Delegation Award at this year's event! Congratulations to all! Read more >
