Unlike previous years where all competitors in all contest areas came together under one roof, Skills /Compétences Canada hosted their premier national multi-contest area competition event entirely online. Dubbed the: Skills Canada Virtual National Competition (SCVNC), this massive online event took place over the week of May 24th – 28th, drawing in the best competition from across the country, and finally culminated with the SCVNC Closing Ceremonies during the evening of Tuesday June 15th.
Eight of Nova Scotia’s secondary and post-secondary students competed virtually in technology and employability skill areas with hopes of being awarded as the national champion in their respective fields.
Representing Team Nova Scotia were:
Anders Daigle – 3D Game Art
Ava Doucet – 2D Character Animation
Miccol Bocci – 2D Character Animation
Olivia Martin – Graphic Design Technology
Madeline Wall – Job Search
Abby Miller Photography (Secondary)
Madi Thornhill – Public Speaking
Ethan Myers – Workplace Safety
All of Team Nova Scotia turned in a strong effort and represented the province well and on Tuesday evening when the results were announced, we learned that NSCC Truro Campus student Anders Daigle was awarded the silver medal in 3D Game Art!
We’d like to congratulate Anders and the rest of Team Nova Scotia on their brave showing this year – we’re proud of every single one of you! You represented this province so well! We’d also like to congratulate to all of the winners across the country on a job well done!
At SCNS we’d also like to thank all of our partners and volunteers for making SCVNC possible and helping us facilitate a safe option for competition to take place this year. We’re looking forward to the next competition season and wish you all a wonderful summer.
