Earlier this month, over 1,900 elementary, secondary and post-secondary students from across Ontario got together to compete head-to-head in a number of trades, including collision repair and auto painting.

 The 25th annual Ontario Technological Skills Competition – Canada’s largest skilled trades competition—took place at RIM Park in Waterloo.

 Winners were presented with gold, silver and bronze medals – some also received monetary awards – and many are now eligible to head to the National Competition, taking place in Toronto from June 4-7. From there, many competitors are eligible to advance to the WorldSkills Competition, taking place in Brazil in 2015.
