The 1994 Northwestern Ontario Regional Science Fair was held 19 April 1994 at the basketball court of the C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
It featured participants from around the city, including possibly the precocious Andrew Bryan's work on "fractional distillation" (this might have been the year before) and 11-year-old Michael Currie's exhibit on centrifugal force - an apparent force arising from a body's inertia.
During the day, the children were grouped into teams for a quiz-style event, and Michael's team, thanks to his knowledge of science, won the gold medal.
He also met a girl who later worked for Chronicle-Journal. He saw her one last time, in fall 1994, at Paramount Theatre, during a special afternoon appreciation event put on by the Chronicle-Journal to appreciate their paper delivery children. Michael recalls that his boss Glenn from the Chronicle-Journal, as well as his school friend Matt Wilson, were also present at the Paramount Theatre event.
Michael's certificate of participation was signed by Carolyn Carlson, who would become Michael's homeroom teacher in fall 1995.
