WINNERS - ANTARCTIC 2007
Contest Question
International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2009 provides an incredible window for us to better
understand Earth’s polar regions. Despite its rich history as a polar nation,
Canada’s involvement in the southern polar region remains minimal. For example,
Canada has yet to become a full member of the Antarctic Treaty System which protects
Antarctica. Why should Canada be more interested and engaged in the Antarctic?
Respond by submitting an essay (500 words or less), journal, pictorial, poem, film,
or other creative submission. |
