Several VCC students will be up against contenders from other schools across the province in the 32nd annual Skills Canada BC trades competition on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at the Tradex centre in Abbotsford.
The provincial competition will host about 500 secondary and post-secondary students who will showcase their expertise across various disciplines, including baking, culinary arts, graphic design, automotive repair and collision, and hairstyling.
Attendees will have a chance to watch the competitions unfold and take part in interactive, hands-on activities located in the exhibition hall.
