Projects on everything from beauty trends to mosquitoes to dwarf planets are on display at the fourth annual SD71 Inquiry Fair.
Held at Lake Trail Middle School May 1 and 2, nearly 600 students from 12 different schools will present their projects over the two days of the fair.
The first day kicked off with a welcome by the school district’s elder in residence and a performance of the Comox Valley Schools song, Am’lala sa Kumuxse, sung by Queneesh Elementary students. The Metis Jigging Group also performed a dance.
