In the Junior Life Sciences Division, Julia won a gold medal ($400) for her project, The Honeycrisp Apple: A New Valley Variety. Melissa's Food Poisoning Bacteria in Green Bins took home a gold medal ($400) in the Intermediate Life Sciences Division; Brendan was awarded an Honorable Mention Certificate in the Intermediate Physical Science Division for his Time Travel; and Jordan's study of Brain Damage and Memory was awarded a silver medal($300) in the Intermediate Life Sciences Division and an award from the Canadian Psychological Association ($200).
