The event gives trade and technology students an opportunity to take their skills out of a traditional classroom setting.

Categories include auto service, baking, cabinet making, carpentry, culinary arts, fashion technology, graphic design, hairstyling, photography, video production and welding.

“It’s really a great venue for kids that have skills outside of athletics,” said organizer Jody Stolk-Ingram.

Winners of the regional contests go on to compete at the Provincial Skills Canada Competition in Edmonton May 13 and 14.
