Dear Spelling Bee Winners,

Good luck to our representatives, Primary winner Max, Junior winner Eric, and Intermediate winner Maiya at the Championship Finals in Toronto on May 3rd, 2015! We know that you've been looking forward to (and maybe a bit scared of) this moment. We believe in you! Show your competitors what you can do.

It has been such fun hosting the B.C. Richmond Region of the Spelling Bee of Canada. Thank you to our sponsors! We would particularly like to thank Richard Dalton, Luis Grisales Giraldo, and Craig Elworthy from YourScoreBooster for acting as our judges. Thank you also to all of our volunteers: Tina He, Nicole Li, Angel Huang, Winnie Lei, James Xu, Evan Guo, Andy Ling, Wenyi Liu, Robin Chen, and Anna Chen.

And finally, thank you so much Julie Spence, for being so supportive and giving us this opportunity. Julie Spence is the founder of the Spelling Bee of Canada, and has been running this organization for 28 years. Without her, the Spelling Bee wouldn't exist. Thanks Julie for your patience and leadership!

For those of you heading on to the Championship Finals, see below for the official handouts. The Championships will be held at the Ismaili Centre in Toronto, Ontario. It will be aired on Toronto's cable TV. Stay tuned!

To our Spelling Bee participants,

We just want to thank you for registering to be part of our first annual regional Spelling Bee. We have never hosted a spelling bee before, so this is a new experience for us. We are very excited, and we hope to make this the best spelling bee contest possible! Thank you for your patience and support.

Below is a file detailing the basic dates for the spelling bee coaching, the deadline for registration, fees, and a volunteer registration form. As a volunteer, you will be a mentor to younger students by guiding them through the word learning process and offering encouragement. Younger students will greatly benefit from the kind words of an older brother or sister. As always, we are available by phone if you have any questions about the event!
