Brett Austin, an Engineering and Environmental Technologies professor at Georgian, said participating in Skills Ontario and Skills Canada is a unique and rewarding experience for students and mentors.
"To work with young people who are passionate about learning in their areas of study is inspiring to everyone around them, including their peers," Austin said. "I would like to thank Georgian College staff and administration for their continued support and promotion of students in this series of competitions and thank each of our competitors for their effort and dedication."
Congratulations to the students, faculty and other supporters involved!
