Post Canadian growth!

And then there's team 296: Loyola HS's Northern Knights, from Montreal. This year they competed at the BAE and UTC regionals.

38 Ontario teams + 2 Quebec teams + 1 Newfoundland team gives us 41 total Canadian teams.

Not too shabby, considering that there were only 3 Canadian schools (Woburn, Loyola, and Crescent) competing in 2001.

Any predictions for next year's growth? There have been rumours of a regional in Calgary. How long do you think it will take for FIRST to establish a sizable following in Western Canada? Would your team be interested in attending this event?

It's only a matter of time...
