Congratulations to Everyone who participated in the Science Fair Competition 2010

Tamil Cultural and Academic Society of Durham (TCASD) conducted 2^nd Annual Science Fair Competition 2010 On May 29th, 2010 at the Pickering Nuclear Information Centre . It was amazing to see many brilliant projects and the thought process involved in doing the projects. All the students discovered something new from their project or from other students. The benefits of the projects goes way beyond learning science. This competition taught the students to be more confident, mature, disciplined, and more skilled.

Our distinguished judges Dr. Mannivannan, holds a PhD from McMaster University and currently teaching at Jarvis Collegiate, and Mrs. Dolatshahi holds a Masters in Nuclear Engineering from McMaster University and 11 years employed with Ontario Power Generation were very impressed with the projects and provided excellent feedbacks.

Our sincere thanks goes to Ontario Power Generation for sponsoring the auditorium, the judges, participants, parents and volunteers. It was truly amazing to see all the talented children and a great opportunity for them to learn.

The results of the Science Fair Contest 2010 will be announced through the mail .The prizes and certificates will be presented at the upcoming Awards of Excellence and Volunteer Recognition Night in July.

Our Heartfelt Thanks To All Those Who Made Our First Charity Gala Very Successful!

The Tamil Cultural and Academic Society is a growing organization in Durham. It is dedicated in making many community landmarks. TCASD made its first baby step on community contribution in 2008 by adopting a park in the City of Pickering. On April 12 2010, the charity gala"Lights of Hope" was organised to raise funds for Ajax-Pickering Hospital Women's and Children Health's Program and R.S.Mclaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre at Lakeridge Health, Oshawa.

The gala,held at the Ajax Convention Center, received a crowd of over 210 people and raised $10,000. The event was excellent and entertaining. There was a brilliant fashion show and a variety of dances held by our youth. The amazing aution and raffle draws helped in raising additional funds.

Dr. Kanna Vela, MC for the evening, created a positive atmosphere. Our guest provided inspiring speeches that motivated the people with hope, spirit and belief. The evening was a great success because of the strong support received from both the hospitals,generous sponsors and donors, hardworking and dedicated youth and members and finally the generosity and support of the community.

This success is the beginning of many more years of contribution to this worthwhile cause of better health care services to the communities in Durham.
