The annual Prince George Regional Heritage Fair was held at the Civic Centre, with each participant having earned their way to the district level by first emerging from an exhibition at their school.
At the district event, each display is visited by two teams of judges who evaluate the visual quality of the exhibit and also the verbal communication of the students. Judges often ask the students a number of questions about their chosen topic.
Some preliminary awards were bestowed from the district event. They are:
- BC Hydro Power Pioneers Award to Robyn Barwise of Morfee Elementary for "The Working Women of Wells"
