Regional Competitions

Each year, thousands of students compete at regional competitions that are organised and hosted by school boards, colleges, and training delivery agents across the province. These competitions provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate their talents in the skilled trades and technologies and to determine the strongest candidates who will go on to represent their institution at the Qualifying Competitions or the provincial Skills Ontario Competition.

If your institution hosts a regional event that you would like us to add to this page, please contact us by e-mail at competitions@skillsontario.com.

Note for 2020-21: Due to the restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, many institutions are foregoing these events this year, therefore the list for 2021 is shorter than in previous years.

 

If a Regional Event Can Not be Hosted – Who do we Send to Provincials?

A list of suggestions has been compiled that may assist institutions this year in determining which students to send if a regional event can not be hosted. We want to provide as many opportunities for students as possible, as this year will still include medals, bursaries, monetary awards, scholarships, and possible job offers for some contests. As well as a possible chance to continue to the national level!

Even if a student may not have had as much practice as normal, we recommend that if an institution can still send a competitor, to still allow them to compete, as they will be able to have this on their resume, along with the experience, and the above possibilities!

Below are ideas and recommendations on how a competitor could possibly be forwarded to the provincial level:

  • Any medal winning competitors from the 2019/2020 regionals/provincials who are still eligible to compete, and still a student at the institution
  • Asking students who want to participate
    • do a lottery
    • have teachers hold a meeting to discuss which student is the top student to send
    • host an online theory test, highest mark
    • highest mark(s) in class/school/board
  • Hold cohort class regionals
  • Selecting from Co-op and/or OYAP students
  • If still able to host an in-person or virtual regional event
