Congratulations OSS Skills Canada Students On Friday, March 7, Ivor Langley took seven OSS students to Okanagan College to participate in the Skills Canada trades competition in Kelowna. This competition is run by Okanagan College trades instructors, and pits high school students against each other in a variety of trades related challenges in cooking, welding, automotive service, cabinet making, and computer assisted design-C.A.D.

Each one of our students medaled, and three students won their competitions and are going to the provincial Skills Canada competition in Abbotsford later this spring. Our students were competing against students from all of the high schools in the Okanagan region from Vernon south to Osoyoos, with OSS being one of the smallest schools in the competition.

The results are as follows: Zac Beaudion 1st Cabinet Making — to Provincials Shayden Stark 3rd Cabinet Making Kye Cowen 1st Welding — to Provincials Kelsey Gorgichuk 3rd Welding Dalton Rose 1st C.A.D. — to Provincials Steven Lindsay 3rd Automotive Service Congratulations to all of our OSS competitors! We are very proud of you and your accomplishments. Congratulations also to Mr. Langley for providing our students with strong learning opportunities in trades skills, and for helping them achieve at such high levels. Good luck to Zac, Kye and Dalton at the upcoming Skills Canada Provincials in Abbotsford.
