Posted on 05/04/2026
Elliott MacDonald, a Grade 6 student at Sherwood Elementary School, won the City of Charlottetown Prize at the 2026 Provincial Heritage Fair.
The City of Charlottetown Prize is awarded annually to a student who exhibits an outstanding project on Charlottetown’s heritage. MacDonald won the prize for his project entitled L'histoire des arénas à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard (The history of Arenas in Prince Edward Island). The project explored the history of the Charlottetown Forum and the Sherwood Sportsplex (Cody Banks Arena) and the various hockey teams that played there.
More than 216 students in grades 5 to 10, from 26 schools/home school associations across Prince Edward Island participated in this year’s Provincial Heritage Fair. The Heritage Fair program is an educational initiative that provides students with an opportunity to present their projects to judges from their communities. The top projects chosen from each school go on to the Provincial Heritage Fair, which took place on April 30 at the Eastlink Centre.
Please join us in congratulating Elliott and all of this year’s finalists!
