Educating and Inspiring… heart, mind, body, and soul!

Eastern Ontario SKLZ Competition 2023

Cornwall, Ontario was buzzing with the sound of hammers, wrenches, and blow dryers this past Tuesday as the regions two school boards battled it out in the popular Eastern Ontario SKLZ Competition.

The annual event, organized in partnership between the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, UCDSB, and St. Lawrence College (SLC), was held at the SLC Cornwall Campus and Elegance College of Healthcare Services & Cosmetology. The day consisted of skilled trades events in carpentry, welding, small engine repair, cabinet making, environment, hairstyling, CAD design and more, with eight CDSBEO secondary schools in attendance.
