Extreme Sledding Competition Results

Skills Canada Manitoba, and Winnipeg Technical College hosted the Annual Extreme Sledding Competition at Winnipeg Technical College on Wednesday, February 23, 2011.
Thirty-six, Grades 7 – 9 students from across Manitoba spent the morning constructing a human drawn sled with cardboard, 2 x 4’s and duct tape. The students then braved the elements to race their sled around a course.

Best Time Award

Great jobs...Great future!

“I’ve always loved to take things apart to see how they work. With my education and Skills Manitoba experience, I now have a job where I get to design the kinds of things I used to take apart!”
