NBRSF 2017 - Rotary Award of Excellence

The 55th Annual North Bay Regional Science Fair (NBRSF) was a big success for the more than 110 participants who took part in this year’s competition held at Nipissing University Sports Complex on April 12th.

More than 50 awards including scholarships, trophies, medals, plaques, certificates, and cheques were presented for the scientific initiatives of these brilliant students.

The highlight of the Awards ceremony was the designation of those who will represent the region at this year’s Canada-Wide Science Fair being held in Regina, Sask. May 14 to 24. Three projects (five students) were selected for this exciting opportunity – which includes the recipient of the Rotary Award of Excellence, Jacob Galema and Community Impact Award (Senior Division), Chloe Carriere and Caitlin Howard.
