Notes: - Rotary Science Fair format matches the style used at the Canada-wide Science Fair. Projects are divided into three categories – Junior (grades 7 & 8), Intermediate (grades 9 & 10), and Senior (grades 11 & 12) – but they are not judged in separate subject areas like biology, engineering, etc.
- First-place, second-place, and third-place winners were chosen from the Juniors, Intermediates, and Seniors, and then some of these winners competed head-to-head for Best-of-Show. TOP AWARDS ("BEST OF FAIR")
