The 2019 edition of the Canadian Chemistry Contest (CCC) was held on Monday, April 15, 2019. The contest was written by 633 Canadian students from across the country, in conjunction with the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (CCO). This year, ASDAN, a skills-based learning group specializing in international education, also offered this exam to approximately 850 students in China, through an agreement with CCO.
The CCC fosters an appreciation of chemistry as a career for talented young people and promotes national excellence in chemistry at the high school/Cégep level. The CCC is aimed at the top 10% of Canadian high school and Cégep students under 20 years of age taking chemistry. The CCO is aimed at the top 5% of these students.
The CCC Team includes National Coordinator, Guillaume Bussière; National Examiner, Jennifer Pitt-Lainsbury; Regional and District Coordinators; Philip Sohn, CCO National Coordinator and his team and; Gale Thirlwall, CIC National Office support. The Team has spent the year preparing the exam and coordinating with schools across the country.
Below is the list of 2019 Regional CCC Winners. Sean Wang, Point Grey Secondary in Vancouver was named National Winner.
Next year’s competition takes place on Monday, April 6, 2020. Information will be posted on the CIC website when available.
