The 2014 Bee will be in early March. Start raising funds now and reserve your team spot. Gather four pals to represent your business or organization; three spellers and a team captain. You spell as a team - you write the word on a white board and then the judges will check to see if you are correct. Entry fee includes team admission, team play, food, and a chance at the championship! Reserve your spot by emailing halifax@thewordonthestreet.ca

We promote and encourage a passion for reading and a love of words. Participants’ donations will go to support the festival’s mission to celebrate Canadian literature and support literacy advocacy.
