DSBN Students Seeking Precious Medals in Toronto

DSBN students are joining over 2,000 competitors seeking gold at the Skills Ontario competitions at the Toronto Congress Centre. The competition, beginning today and running through May 8, gives students the opportunity to test their skills amongst the best in the province. From there, students can earn a spot on Team Ontario for the Skills Canada National Competition, taking place later this month (May 27-30) in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

“We wish our students the best of luck in Toronto,” said Roy Smith, DSBN Technology and Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM) Consultant. “They have worked hard to reach this point and this will be an exciting experience as they continue to develop their skills and abilities.”

Results will be announced on the Skills Ontario website following the closing ceremonies on May 8. The site can be found here: http://www.skillsontario.com/competitions/secondary
