Co-chairs of the Peterborough Bid Team are Brian Patrick, a Professor of Computer Studies/Science at Trent and director of the Peterborough Regional Science Fair, Gina Collins, the academic secretary for the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the program secretary of the Applications of Modelling in the Natural and Social Sciences Graduate Program at Trent, and Linda O'Leary, a teacher with the Trillium Lakelands District School Board and chair of the Victoria County Science Fair Committee.
