            Students from schools in four First Nation communities within the Yorkton Tribal Council (YTC) district participated in the second annual science fair held at Chief Gabriel Cote Education Complex on February 7.

            Organized by a committee at the YTC, the science fair, which was held in the Cote school gymnasium, is a competition in which the top two displays from each of the four schools represented, will qualify to advance to a FSIN (Federation of Sovereign Indian Nations) provincial science fair being held in early March in Saskatoon, said an organizer from the YTC.

            The top displays at the provincial fair will qualify to advance to a national show.

            Participants were from Chief  Gabriel, Keeseekoose Chiefs Education Centre and from schools at Ocean Man First Nation and Kahkewistahaw First Nation.
