Sy Korf, middle, gold-medal winner (secondary) in the autobody repair category beside winners from Manitoba and Ontario.
Â鶹AV is proud to celebrate the achievements of this year’s student winners. Well done to all 11 competitors who challenged themselves against contenders from all over Canada. The event took place in Regina, Sask. on May 29 and 30.
Â鶹AV Baking instructor, Kimberly Tada, says of the competition, "It was a very close competition and I couldn't be more proud of Elli and Isabella! They represented our province very well and judges were impressed with their work. They demonstrated great sportsmanship in lending their equipment to those who needed it. I want to thank all the organizers, sponsors, judges, volunteers, coaches and instructors for all their support. Five months of training was a lot of hard work and dedication from everyone!"
"It's tough to perform several tasks under strict time pressure while keeping everything tidy," says Eri Jung, silver-medallist in the hairstyling category (secondary). "But I love learning things I can't in the regular classroom. This achievement shows what I can do under focus and when I put my mind to it."
Congratulations to the seven Â鶹AV students who finished the competition with stellar performances and pride. Watch out for banners that will be displayed across Â鶹AV campuses to celebrate their achievements.
takes place internationally from Sept. 22-27, 2026 in Shanghai.
