Attention, Gr. 9 and 10, Lions! The C.W.A.Y.C. team would like to invite you to test your geographical thinking in this year’s Canadian Geographic Challenge. This is an annual Geography competition to test high school students’ knowledge of Canada and the world. Plus, you can earn AP Points in the process! The school winner will go on to represent Assumption College School at the provincial level this spring and may continue to advance to the national level too. Assumption has made it to the national level before, and this could be YOUR turn! If you would like to participate, please visit the Library Brightspace page this week to complete the linked 50 question multiple choice quiz. All results must be submitted prior to 11:59 pm this Friday (March 11th). Please note that you only get one attempt to earn a top score, and you must complete the quiz in one sitting. Also, please note that you may NOT seek help or access any additional resources as you write.

Best of luck, Geographers—we can’t wait to see your Geographic knowledge in action!
