After a successful inaugural year, National Capital History Day will be held at �Ӱ�ԭ�� University on May 1, 2015. The competition is open to high-school students across the Ottawa region, and will take place in �Ӱ�ԭ��’s new River Building, allowing students to showcase their work in a state-of-the-art facility.

“National Capital History Day takes a cross-disciplinary approach to history, so our new partnership with �Ӱ�ԭ�� allows us to really help students explore that type of academic inquiry at a post-secondary institution that is known for exceptional programs in many disciplines,” says , a member of the National Capital History Day steering committee that includes teachers Kristin Riddell and from the Ottawa-�Ӱ�ԭ�� District School Board, Ruth Bouttell from the Ottawa Catholic School Board, registrar Alison Peters and independent historian (and �Ӱ�ԭ�� MA grad) .

“At �Ӱ�ԭ��, professors in journalism, history, arts, French, English, film studies, and Canadian studies are all looking forward to welcome on our campus the region’s high school students and their teachers, and to see and watch the fruits of their many projects on historical matters,” says , Chair of �Ӱ�ԭ��’s history department and a member of the National Capital History Day Advisory Board. “In return, we have many ideas in store to share our own knowledge and practices with these inventive and thoughtful apprentices.”
