Share Your Knowledge and Talent
Volunteer on a Provincial Technical Committee
Each of the events at the Provincial and Regional
Skills Competitions are overseen by volunteers from

Committees. In addition to adding your expertise to
the competition, you will gain valuable professional
development.
Provincial Technical Committees meet twice a year
