Spelling enthusiasts who are currently in grades 6 or 7 are invited to showcase their skills by competing in the Fraser Valley Regional Library's Sport of Spelling.
The library is now accepting registrations for spelling bees to be held in October and November at nine branches, including the ones in Tsawwassen and Ladner.
Both local bees will be held on Saturday, Nov. 5. The Tsawwassen competition begins at 10: 30 a.m., while the Ladner one gets underway at 2 p.m.
The top three spellers from each bee will receive medals and advance to the Grand Championship at the Clearbrook Library on Nov. 26, where they will compete for spelling supremacy and other prizes, including books and a $100 Chapters gift card.
Registration is required by Oct. 15 but early registration is recommended as space is limited to a maximum of 25 competitors per bee.
Visit any of the participating branches or www. fvrl.ca to register.
The goal of the Sport of Spelling is to engage young people in positive competition while having fun.
