It was a successful showing for Humber College students at the Skills Ontario Competition as they earned a number of medals including several golds.

The annual competition gives students an opportunity to show off the skills they've learned in their programs as they face off against their peers from across the province in complex challenges designed to showcase their expertise in various sectors.

Humber sent almost 40 students to the competition, which was held May 1 to 3 at the Toronto Congress Centre – the first in-person event after three years of it being held virtually during the pandemic.

In total, they won four gold medals, two silver and three bronze.
