TORONTO—Grade 8ers from across Canada that get off the game console and behind the video camera could be on their way to Banff for an all-expenses paid trip for their entire class.
Environment Minister Peter Kent announced the contest at École secondaire Étienne-Brûlé on Thursday morning to a gym full of students.
“Your enthusiasm, your energy is catching. We’re hoping you will channel some of this energy and your talent on the new and very exciting contest we’re proud to announce today,” Kent told the students, including a contingent from Gordon Brown Middle School.
“I sound like a game show host,” Kent joked, before channelling Bob Barker to give the details of the prize to laughing students.
That prize is a flight via Air Canada to Calgary and four days, three nights of adventure at Banff National Park worth $51,000.
Entrants must recreate a significant moment related to a national park, historic site, or national marine convention area in three minutes or less.
