Regional Skills Canada Competitions
Changes to the High School Carpentry, Culinary Arts and Welding Competitions
To meet the increasing requests by students to compete at the Provincial Skills Competition, high school students must qualify at a Regional Skills Canada Competition to compete at the Provincial Skills Competition in Carpentry, Culinary Arts and Welding.
Building on the success of the fully regionalized process in 2008 for Welding, all Carpentry and Culinary Arts students must compete at their Regional Skills Canada Competition to qualify for the Provincial Skills Competition.
Teachers will not be able to reserve spots for their students in these three events for provincials.
Regional Skills Canada Competitions will take place throughout the winter and spring of 2009.
