Eleven Young Citizens contestants were chosen from across the province at the HSA’s regional Heritage Fairs. The students created dynamic videos on their Heritage Fair topic, under the guidance of the regional coordinators. The videos were then voted upon online by the public and scored by a panel of judges. Evan and Sophia are two of 26 students from across the country who will be travelling to Ottawa as Young Citizens.
