A trio of Campbell River high school students is heading to the Skills Canada National Championships event in May, after an impressive showing at the Provincial Championships held in Abbotsford April 19.
Timberline Secondary student Matthew Baker, as well as Carihi Secondary duo Eliot Sidlick and Logan Jones, are going to Winnipeg after gold medal performances.
Baker took home gold in Website Development, while Sidlick and Jones each took a gold in 3-D animation.
The three students were just some of the five students selected to take part in the provincial event. Others competing were Timberline’s Andrew Hrybko, who took home a silver in cabinetmaking, and Carihi’s Markus Johnson, who won the bronze in welding.
The Skills Canada event is hosted by Skills Canada, a non-profit event which promotes the careers in skilled trades and technology. An annual Olympic-style event, the 2023 National Championships are slated to take place May 25 and 26.
