Prince George, B.C. –  A student from  Correlieu Secondary School in Quesnel won the Provincial  skills competition  in cabinetry and is now  eligible for the National competition set for June in Moncton New Brunswick.

Avery Bell  was among three students from the region  to win  at the Regional Skills Competition held at the College of New Caledonia in Prince George  last month ( see previous story).    The competition has students  completing a project within a certain  time frame.

That  win, made him eligible for the  Provincial round which  took place in  Abbotsford.  Again, Avery  took  top spot.

Two other students from Prince George – Angela Harkins, CNC Professional Cook student, and Laura Parent, Kelly Road student – competed in the Culinary Arts category of the Provincial skills competition as well.

“We are extremely proud of these students’ accomplishments,” said CNC Dean of Trades and Technologies, Frank Rossi. “While some of them are not CNC students, they still represented our city and region, and did an amazing job. We wish Avery the best of luck at Nationals and we hope to see all of our competitors return to the regional competition in January.”
