To mark the final day of Engineering and Geoscience Week, on Saturday, March 7, 2015 NAPEG’s Bridge Building Competition was held at the Centre Square Mall in Yellowknife. Thank you to all our participants and for the generous donations from First Air, Air Tindi, the Yellowknife Inn and Centre Square Upper Mall, as sponsors of Engineering and Geoscience Week. 

School students, professionals and the general public from eight different communities throughout the Northwest Territories and Nunavut submitted model bridges which were evaluated for strength, quality of construction, and application of engineering principles.
