Team Quinte
Up and ready for another busy day. We Judging workshops,orientation sessions and the grand opening and banquet today. There is not a lot of down time today. Of course, making sure they know their project.
Time to get up and get moving. 
Our team was up and raring to go for breakfast
at 7:30am this morning. We enjoyed a walk in the coulee ( a large valley,
with glacial impressions) behind the residence following breakfast and
realized as we huffed and puffed, "what goes down, must come up". The white-tailed deer are very tame and we were able to get quite close
to them and snap a few pictures. We also caught pictures of the magpies that are numerous on campus.
We participated in a Judging 101 session
before lunch which really just emphasized what we already knew about what to
expect on Tuesday's judging day. The one thing that was discussed by the
team was how they only have 20 minutes with a judge to sell their projects.
The judges will have checked out the projects on Monday evening and so
will be familiar with each project before they talk to each finalist. Our
team seems very confident about what they are going to say, especially our
veterans Govind and Theresa. With a balmy temperature of 26 degrees we
enjoyed lunch outside overlooking the valley.
A iron buffalo
on the peak
of one of the neighbouring hills caught Aaron, Brandan and Theresa's attention,
they couldn't resist and climbed to the top for another photo opportunity.
Off to the Exhibition Hall for a public viewing in the afternoon.
This was a chance for everyone to iron out the wrinkles in their talk and
meet some of the other delegates. Again, everyone on Team Quinte was
relaxed and positive about the presentations they had. Aysar and Govind
had their picture beside the medals in the Exhibition Hall with hopes to be
wearing them in a few days!

We then hopped on a bus for a short bus ride
to the ENMAX Centre where we enjoyed our opening ceremonies.
There was lots of entertainment, including
a band, stilt-walkers, hoop
dancers and a chemistry show with lots of explosions. A lucky
participant's name (out of the 480 candidates) was drawn to win a XBox Kinect
and the winner was.....our own Aaron Morrison.
The only thing to match this
great win was the Leafs win tonight. Aysar and Govind had the game live
streamed at the table and there was a cheer in the room when they won. Go
Leafs Go! Switching sports, the evening ended back on campus with a
soccer game with Team Quinte (minus Aaron and Brandan who were intent on
playing with their new prize) and several other groups joining in.
Overall, a great day. Scott and I have decided that keeping the
group together is often like "herding cats". Then off to bed for all of them since tomorrow is a very long day.
