| My name is Nirusan Jayaranjan, and I attend Sturgeon Heights Collegiate in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Canada-Wide Science Fair in Ottawa will be my third one that I will attend. I enjoy playing sports such as soccer, football, volleyball, and basketball. I will be attending Sturgeon Heights Collegiate for high school next year. I enjoy playing my alto saxophone in both concert and jazz band. I have an older brother who also attended the Canada-Wide Science Fair. I also plan on helping out with the 2009 Manitoba Host Committee for when we host the Canada-Wide Science Fair. |
