The CDSBEO was well represented at the annual Skills Ontario Competition in Toronto from May 4th to May 6th. Participating students were selected based on their performance at regional events hosted by the board through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program.  Although the board was unsuccessful at winning any medals at this year’s event, the experience of competition against the best high school students in the province is one our students will never forget. 

Congratulations to:

• Audree Van de Oetelaar and Isabella St Louis from Holy Trinity CSS, Team of Two Carpentry
• Max Antanovich from St John CHS, Individual Carpentry
• Simon Froggatt from St John CHS, Cabinet Making
• Andrew Warren, Marshal Roy, Teagan Michie and Parker Brown from Notre Dame CHS, Home Builders

Special thanks to the teachers and mentors who not only recruit participants and spend countless hours working closely with their students to prepare them not only for the provincial competition, but also the regional events.

• Mr. Josh Bingley, St John CHS
