In recent months Students have been tasked to research and create projects highlighting aspects of Canadian history, successful participants at the school level now will take their work to the Regional Fair at North Pacific.
It's the first time that North Pacific has played host to the Regional Heritage Fair and in keeping with the location, the theme for many of Friday's presentations will feature a look back at the region's canneries and the people who worked and lived at them.
