On Wednesday, April 13, top-performing students from across British Columbia put their trades skills to the test at the 22nd annual Skills Canada BC provincial competition.
Competing in areas ranging from automotive collision repair to hairdressing to culinary arts, VCC students impressed the judges as well as the crowds at the Fraser Valley Trade and Exhibition Centre (TRADEX) in Abbotsford.
