Plan for a Spot on Team Alberta at the Canadian Skills Competition
The 2010 Team Alberta will be selected at the Provincial Skills Canada Competition (PSCC) on May 12-13, 2010. Six days later students, teachers, chaperones and SCA staff will travel via Westjet to Waterloo, Ontario for the Canadian Skills Competition (CSC).
During the PSCC Awards Ceremony on May 13 all students who earn a medal will be escorted  backstage after we photograph their on-stage moments of success. Gold medalists will be given their Team Alberta information package and will confirm their participation in the CSC. Students must be present at the Awards Ceremony to claim their position on Team Alberta.
Team Alberta Members will gather in Salon 1, following the Awards Ceremony for a brief meeting at the Shell Team Alberta Reception.
If the Gold Medalist is not able to attend CSC, the next top ranking individual will be asked to participate.
SCA has booked hotels and flights for all members of Team Alberta. The cost for a high school or post-secondary student to attend the CSC is approximately $800 and for a teacher/chaperone it is $1,250. Th is cost includes flights, ground transportation, hotels, accreditation fees, a Team Alberta shirt and some meals. Although SCA has heavily subsidized the cost to participate, we recognize the cost is significant and hope that by providing this advanced notice all eligible students will not miss an opportunity to be involved in this important event.Quick Links:
