The awards were presented to students enrolled at NLC’s Fort St. John Campus during the annual awards ceremony held in the cafeteria. More than 50 students received awards for 2012-13.
Many of the awards are memorial awards, while other awards are sponsored by community groups, businesses, and individuals. The awards are administered by the NLC Foundation.
Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman was in attendance, bringing greetings from the City to the students and their family members, as well as the donors who make the awards possible.
