The 28th annual contest was held May 1-3 at the Toronto Congress Centre. The event, the largest skilled-trade and technology competition in Canada, brought together 2,000 participants from more than 67 different contests. Sheridan apprentices swept the medals in the Precision-Machining competition for the second time in three years. Daniel van Veen won a gold medal and now moves on to represent Team Ontario at the Skills Canada tournament in Winnipeg in early June. Van Veen also won the top-ranked college competitor overall for Skills Ontario, the first time a Sheridan competitor has achieved this. Industrial Mechanic Millwright student Ryker Duff was recognized as the top-ranking Skills Ontario participant representing a Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development (MAESD)-funded program. The team of 11 Sheridan students also took part in CNC Machining, Website Development, Architectural Technology and Design, IT Office Software Application and Mechatronics contests. The list of Sheridan winners includes: Precision Machining Daniel van Veen - gold medal Sheridan students win six Looking for medals at Skills Ontario a fresh start?

"Students are required to bring their best skills and adaptability to their events," said Dave Wackerlin, Sheridan' s associate dean of the School of Architectural Technology and School of Skilled Trades and Apprenticeships, in a media release. "All of the medal winners and competitors put in a magnificent effort across the board in their respective disciplines, representing Sheridan at the highest level of competition for apprentices and post-secondary students." Skills Ontario honours went to professor Craig Brazil, who was named one of two recipients of the 2 0 1 7 Glenn Beatty Award, which recognizes outstanding volunteers. Brazil has dedicated countless hours for many years as the Industrial Mechanic Millwright Contest Tech chair at Skills Ontario, Skills Canada and Worldskills International, according to Sheridan.
