After being cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Skills Ontario Competition was held virtually this year, with students competing in various categories from mid-April to May. Today, the awards and closing ceremonies marked the end of the 2021 competition. Although no awards were taken home this year, students from two HPEDSB secondary schools participated in the competition and are recognized for their efforts and dedication, performing admirably despite the challenges of preparing for the competition during the suspension of in-person learning.
