It was a somewhat return to normal for the Northern Manitoba Regional Science Fair this past weekend at Ecole Riverside School.

 

Students in grades four to eight from the School District of Mystery Lake’s six elementary schools participated in the first regional science fair in three years, which was halted due to COVID-19.

 

All students who participated in the very least received a bronze medal at the science fair on Saturday, which consisted of research projects this year.

 

Best in Fair awards included a tie for second for Leo Moose and Levi White for the grade seven and eight category, as well as sixth graders Ravnoor Dhadial and Bella Moose having won first and second respectively at their grade level.

 

Murvat Yehia, a science teacher and organizer for this year’s event, says Flin Flon and The Pas were not at the science fair this year, noting that they may have skipped due to travel costs.

 

Next year’s Northern Manitoba Regional Science Fair will be held in The Pas.
