Moncton Home Educators Heritage Fair

Everyone is invited to take part in the second annual MHE Heritage Fair! Your children can learn about our great country and communities while being part of an educational and exciting province and nation wide program.  A heritage fair project can be on a topic from science, history, geography, geneology, family history, immigration, etc. as long as the theme is Canadian.  Here are some details:

When: Tuesday, April 27 at 7 P.M. at the Moncton Public Library

What: (from the Heritage Fair website)

“Heritage Fair projects may include (but are not limited to): Models; Caricatures; Posters; Collections; Maps; Demonstrations; Crafts; Artistic Displays; Short Stories and Heritage Journal Writing; Poetry; Theatrical Scripts; Debates and Public Speaking; Dramatic Productions; Music; Dance; Computer Presentations; Video “Heritage Minutes” Productions; Oral Interviews; Photography Exhibits… the possibilities are endless !

• All projects must have a Canadian theme – history, geography or heritage – and entail some research conducted by the participants. Projects can be specific to one time-period or display a thematic development or progression.
• Students may prepare projects as individuals or in groups.
• Students provide written research that was undertaken in developing their projects.
• Projects must be ready for display and those selected for the National Heritage Fair should not exceed: 80 cm in depth, 150 cm in width, 100 cm in height.” *

* The project display boards from the Great Canadian Dollar store or Staples fit these dimensions if you need one.

Further Information: Go to http://www.gnb.ca/Heritage/ and click on Heritage Fairs

All our MHE support group students will be able to attend the Regional Heritage Fair which will held on May 6, 2010 in Bloomfield, NB.  At the Regional Fair, students have an opportunity to present their projects to a committee of judges, as well as the general public and will be eligible to receive a series of provincial awards as follows:

• The New Brunswick Historic Places Award (sponsored by Heritage Branch, Province of New Brunswick
• The New Brunswick St. Croix 2004 Award (sponsored by Intergovernmental Affairs, Province of New Brunswick)
• The New Brunswick Museum Award of Merit (sponsored by The New Brunswick Museum)
• The Archival Award of New Brunswick (sponsored by the Council of Archives New Brunswick)
• The Sport Legacy Award (sponsored by the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame)
• The 2tongues! Award (sponsored by the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages for New Brunswick)
• New Brunswick Labour History Award (sponsored by the New Brunswick Labour History Project)

Your project need not fall within one of the above categories (you can do it on anything Canadian you like) but only those in the above categories are eligible for an award.  The Regional Heritage Fair is for all home educated children in NB and is a wonderful opportunity for your children to be part of something larger.  Last year we were able to reimburse families for their traveling expenses down to Bloomfield and should be able to do this again this year with the generous funding provided by the province.  It is a great day!  One of the projects from the Regional Fair is also chosen to go to the Nationals.

One student at the Regional Heritage Fair is selected to attend the Provincial Heritage Fair Showcase taking place in Caraquet, June 25-27, 2010.  The projects are on display usually for about three weeks (the showcase is non-competitive).

Hope you will consider having your student(s) take part this year!
