After earning gold in multiple categories, Campbell River high school students will be heading to a provincial Skills Canada trades competition next month.
Skills Canada held the North Island regional competition on Friday, Feb. 20, which each year brings high school students from the region together to test their skills in a variety of trades and disciplines. This year more than 200 students took part, including 70 seniors and 160 juniors. Students from both Carihi and Timberline Secondary Schools participated.
