Local students take skills to national competition
Students from two local-area high schools were in Edmonton this week competing against students from across the country at the Skills Canada National Competition.
Three students were from Carlton Comprehensive Public High School and there was a pair from Birch Hills Public School. The four-day competition started Sunday.
The Carlton trio included Grade 10 student Keaton Lair, and Grade 12 students Kyle Nelson and Zack Tretiak. Lair competed in IT Network Systems, while Nelson competed in electronics and Tretiak in electrical installations.
All three won gold in their respective categories at the Saskatchewan provincial competition in April.
