Youth Science Foundation (YSF) Canada showcases an annual Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF), held on a rotating basis across Canada. Over 450 students and 200 adult delegates participate in the annual event, with awards totalling more than $130,000 in cash, scholarships, trips and other prizes.

AECL sponsors YSF’s regional science fairs held across the country to encourage youth to stay interested in science and technology, as well as to offset some of their participation expenses.

AECL is also a proud sponsor of the annual CWSF, which sends students home with a wealth of skills—organizing, analyzing, evaluating, presenting, public speaking, research and development of scientific projects—developed during the process of turning a single idea into a hypothesis and seeing it through to its conclusion. Students are given an opportunity to develop their creative abilities and serious interest in the field of science as a career.
