A Burnaby Grade 12 student is back in town after earning some hardware at a national skills competition in Quebec City over the weekend.
Connor De Vera-McGinn of Moscrop Secondary qualified for the Skills Canada national competition in autobody repair after winning gold at the provincial competition last month.
He then earned bronze at the national event after two days of competition against the best high school-aged autobody repairers in the country at the Centre de foires d’ExpoCité May 30 and 31.
More than 500 high school students and apprentices squared off at the national competition in more than 40 skill areas, including everything from autobody repair to computer animation.
To learn more about the competition, including a complete list of results, visit the Skills Canada website.
