Dubreuilville is the place to be this weekend! Flex your muscles, and head out to the biggest strongman competition in northern Ontario...the Dubreuilville Strongman.

This year, the NSFC is an official sponsor of the event, and will have staff in Dubreuilville on Saturday September 11th to cheer on the athletes, handout giveaways, and show our support for Dubreuilville.

The event runs from Friday September 10th until Sunday the 12th, and features amateur and professional athletes from across Canada and the United States.

The NSFC is so excited to attend this event that we have been doing extra bicep curls all week long!

Get your Cameras Ready!

Do you LOVE spending time in the forests of the Northeast Superior region? Do you always have your camera on hand, ready to capture breathtaking scenic views, unique wildlife, or special memories?

Why not enter our Fall/Winter Photo Contest?

The NSFC invites all residents and visitors of the Northeast Superior region to capture special moments spent enjoying our local forests and submit your photos for a chance to win great prizes. The NSFC recognizes the importance of all forest benefits and values, including economic, social, recreational, cultural, and aesthetic. We hope that this contest will encourage residents to head outside and enjoy the forest throughout the entire year.

We value the forests from the forest floor to the peak of the highest tree, and that's how participants should approach this contest. Take pictures of your favourite wildlife, trees, non-timber forest products like mushrooms and berries, scenic views, cultural or recreational activities in the forest...whatever you like!

In order to qualify for the contest, pictures must be original, unpublished photographs taken of or in the forests of the Northeast Superior region of Ontario. The contest will run from September 7th, 2010 until January 31st, 2011, there is no limit on the number of entries allowed per person, and it is open to all age groups.

We will be providing you with updates on the progress of the contest through this blog, and our Facebook page, so be sure to check back regularly to stay informed.
