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...
