About

The Canadian Chemistry and Physics Olympiads organization aims to identify pre-university students who have a talent for chemistry or physics, and then to prepare the best of them for participation in the International Chemistry and Physics Olympiads.

The Canadian Olympiads depend upon the cooperation of teachers in the high schools and CÉGEPs across the country. It is the teachers who are best placed to identify and encourage promising students, and to put them in touch with regional organizers who, in turn, can provide further information and preparation materials. High-school students of any age may become involved. However, students who wish to participate in the International Chemistry and Physics Olympiads must satisfy some eligibility rules. Also, senior students will generally be more successful, but junior students are encouraged to become involved and gain valuable experience.

We publish an annual newsletter which is sent to all secondary and CEGEP level schools in Canada.
