CanSpell National Spelling Bee in Ottawa

Have you heard of CanSpell? CanWest Global Communications held the first ever CanSpell in 2005. This annual national spelling bee is for students and schools all across Canada. There are four different stages of the competition:

• Classroom and School Bees
  
• School District Bees
  
• Regional Bee Finals
  
• National Spelling Bee Finals

The CanSpell National Spelling Bee Final will be held in Ottawa, Ontario on April 5, 2006.

If you didn't have a chance to catch any of the 2005 competition, then we strongly recommend that you take some time to see some of this year's competition. The kids are amazing. I pride myself on someone who can spell relatively well but these children, they can spell words that I have never even heard of.

Good luck to all the students out there who will be participating!
