NNDSB students were golden (and silver and bronze) at the North Bay Skills Ontario competition held at Canadore College.
The competition pits secondary school students in a battle to see who’s best in a variety of fields including culinary, TV video production, welding, and carpentry.
Parry Sound High School students competed in the culinary and TV video fields with the culinary competitors winning big. The students had to prepare a two-course meal with a main course of chicken chasseur, whipped potatoes, glazed carrot batonnets and sauteed zucchini and an Apple Tart Tatin dessert.
Grade 12 students Leila Kennedy and Scarlett Hargrave won gold and silver, respectively while fellow Grade 12 student Zach Hoskin took home the bronze, for a full sweep of medals for NNDSB.
Winning students will now progress to the Skills Ontario Championship competition held in Toronto on May 4-6.
