Fresh-off the conclusion of the regional competitions, 84 contestants will compete in Spelling Bee of Canada’s 27th annual Ontario championship finale for over $10,000 in cash prizes on Sunday, May 11 at the Eaton Chelsea in Toronto.
The Ontario championship finale promises to be a nail biting competition for spectators and contestants alike. Organizer Julie Spence observed the fierce level competition at the 28 regional spelling bees which hosted over 3,000 competitors, and concluded on Sunday, April 13.
“Participants have always dreaded the tie breaker round; which has contestants spell words that are not included in the official study manual. This was the first year I had seen competitors excited and cheering when the round was announced. They were prepared for a tough competition, and excited for a challenge. I have no doubt that this competitive spirit will carry through to the championship,” says Spence.
This year’s competition is open to the public to attend, and will be broadcast on Rogers TV cable 10/63 in Toronto/Scarborough. Viewers can expect to see children in the primary, secondary, and intermediate level spell words that will have them questioning how well they can spell. Spelling words like; magma, philanthropy, and electroencephalograph¬¬–words which won some contestants their coveted championship spot.
During our conversation, Julie talked about:
– What is the Spelling Bee Of Canada all about and history behind the event which she started from scratch in 1987
– Memories of the first Spelling Bee and how has it grown since
– The future for the Spelling Bee Of Canada
