commitment to research, recognizing research activity as an important engine of
growth. UNBC has emerged as a strong research centre and has developed a

areas relevant to the North.
The Brain Research
Unit is dedicated to examining effects of dementia related diseases,
specifically, Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The unit will be actively
recruiting individuals with AD to participant in training programs that are

Dr. Malcolm Ogborn, Jamie Reschny and Karann Currie would like to thank all who were involved in Discover Health.
The event was very successful
Please see below some feedback from some of the schools that attended:
"The kids (and I) really
enjoyed it and they talked about what they had seen the whole way home."
"Some of the students were
still talking about it to their classmates this morning. Most of the
break-out sessions were great, and the career panel was especially
helpful."
"I appreciated the
variety of careers represented throughout the day and on the career panel and
really appreciated the honesty of responses from the doctor, she did not
glorify the job but gave the facts – it is a lot of hard work."
Thank you again for all your hard work in making this a successful event.
