Vancouver Island University is set to host a competition where students from across the central island will get to show off their skills in a wide variety of trades.
According to VIU the Skills Canada BC regional competition will be hosted on Mar. 6, and students will compete in several trades ranging from carpentry and welding to hairdressing.
Dover Bay Secondary in Nanaimo will also host a portion of the competition, which will include 2D and 3D animation in conjunction with VIU’s trade competition.
According to the university, students who excel during the event will move on to compete at the provincial level in April.
“Gold medal winners will progress to the provincial competition in Abbotsford on Apr. 16,” they say. “They will try to earn the chance to compete at nationals, which are in Regina at the end of May.”
The four categories being held at VIU are automotive, carpentry, hairdressing and welding.
