NW AB Regional Skills Canada Competition

Fairview Welcomes the Region

For over 16 years Northwestern Polytechnic, Fairview has hosted the Northwest Regional Skills Canada Competition, a Team Alberta qualifying round in the Skills Canada Competition. NWP is proud to support Skills Canada in promoting careers in skilled trades and technologies to Alberta youth through this competition, generally held in April of each year.

The Peace Country has produced many skilled workers, and this competition has been significant by giving young people exposure to the trades. In 2018, Jason Cote from Peace Wapiti Academy competed in the Outdoor Power and Recreation Equipment competition and went on to win gold at the provincial and national levels.
