/R E P E A T -- Media Advisory - David Saint-Jacques to speak with students from the school that won the "Bring space to your school" contest/

INUVIK, NT, May 2, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Live from the International Space Station, Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut David Saint-Jacques will talk to over 700 students, teachers and members of East Three School (elementary and secondary) in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, winner of the Bring space to your school contest.

In December 2018, the CSA launched this contest for elementary and secondary schools across Canada. Participating schools competed for the opportunity to have a live conversation with David Saint-Jacques while he is on the International Space Station.

CSA astronaut Jenni Sidey-Gibbons will participate in the discussion and will give a presentation on the training and work of an astronaut.

Media representatives who cannot go to the school in person can watch the event live (or watch the video afterwards) on the CSA's YouTube channel.
