Science Rendezvous is a free coast-to-coast open house and festival that celebrates the role of science in everyday life. 2016 was the 9th year for Science Rendezvous nationally, and the second time Inuvik has been part of the fun. 2016 saw over 300 events across 30 cities in Canada, including Inuvik.

The Aurora Research Institute and other organizations from Inuvik offered hands-on science activities to an estimated 300 kids and parents at this year's event. Thanks to John Williams and Robert Gilchrist for volunteering to represent NTPC at this great event! 

NTPC currently has 290 kW of installed solar capacity, in four communities. These systems have a total combined lifetime production of over 450 MWh, which represents approximately 125,000L of diesel that did not need to be used.
