Background information

The Energy Fair is a tradeshow and exhibition of clean energy products, services, and ideas that provide area residents with information and options on how to live greener lifestyles. Local businesses, non-profit groups, and government organizations make displays and talk about how they can help residents go green.

Reaching out to youth

Youth have an important role to play when it comes to energy; it is your future that is being affected by the choices we make today. That is why we want you to help the BCSEA and all our exhibitors get the message out to our community that clean energy is important and we must act now!

Clean Green Energy Projects

Display a project that portrays the message of Clean, Green, Energy at the Energy Fair and you could win a prize. It’s simple; register as an individual, group, class, or even whole school and show up on setup day June 18 with your project. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 are eligible to enter. You will be given a table at the Energy Fair. The only rule is that it must relate to the theme: Clean, Green Energy.

All types of projects are welcome: science, art, literature, math, commerce, social studies, PE… as long as it relates to our theme.
