I think it'll be great to have 2 regional so relatively close. My team can't afford to go to any of the american ones (and there is probably a whole lot more paperwork to sign. It's a lot of work for 3 teachers), so having another one in Canada is awesome. Hopefully we'll raise enough money next year to go to both, so I can see them compete when I'm at school in the spring next fall.

i'm going for architecture... i actually got back from the Canadian Regionals to find a letter from them for an interview... kinda happy... they have co-op for architecture but i think it's not till second year....

yea we originally didn't have enough money for Atlanta... we're trying hard to get sponsors now and we're getting closer and closer to our goals...

Oh man, I can't believe I actually forgot to answer your direct question. My friend in SE is 8-stream, which means you'll have school during build and regional season, and work in the summer. I just asked another one of my friends, and he says that SE is not a stream-4 program. If you actually get a choice, you definetely want 8-stream. With stream 4 (what I'm in) it is very difficult to get a job, since you have no university-level marks to hand in with your resume, so no-one wants to look at your resume. I was lucky enough that my dad managed to find a spot where he works.
