Striving for excellence - Sci-Tech North’s Excellence in Innovation Award
  Innovative Action for the Environment recognizes created solutions to protect the environment and promote ecological sustainability.
Technology Leadership is awarded to an individual who has demonstrated leadership and mentorship in developing, applying and promoting science or technology and who actively contributes to their community.
  “People are stepping up to the plate and they want people to be recognized for the things they’re creating, for what they’re doing, and it’s just become quite a success and we always get a top-notch speaker in and people have an evening not only celebrating their peers but also something where they can take away creative learning.” said Wildman.
  Kress volunteered to deliver a presentation to Bert Bowe Junior Secondary students at 2 p.m. today, focusing on reaching dreams and developing skills that will lead you in the right direction. He’ll be highlighting some of the challenges he had to endure while climbing Mount Everest last year in May when China hosted the Olympics and there were military blockades. One side of Everest was closed, so Kress had to change his plans.
  “Basically what he is going to be talking about is to survive or thrive, so you can make a choice to in the economic difficult times, you can make a choice whether or not you are gong to merely hold your own and merely survive or whether you are going to take advantage of the uncertainties of the situation look in new directions and thrive . . . it’s thinking on your feet, being able to respond to the challenges that are dished out to us in a timely fashion and always be that innovative, creative person who can grasp the opportunity.” Wildman explained. - Hiedi Irvine, Alaska Highway News
