"We don‘t want to have to take them to Toronto to compete, we want to bring that competition here."

Visakha said they had no problem filling the available slots, and hope to expand that roster next year. Visakha hopes her fiveâ€"yearâ€"old Sarah is one of those competitors next year. "She‘s considered a gifted child and she‘s already been skipped to Grade 1," said Visakha. "We want to give every talented child a chance to win a trophy." Complex
