Vayda Kaviok of Arviat decorates a cake she made in the final stage of a baking competition at the eighth annual Skills Nunavut Competition on April 23.
The Grade 12 student was one of seven who took part in the baking contest. Kaviok went on to win the baking contest, earning a chance to advance to the national Skills Canada competition in Vancouver this summer. Other competitions in this year’s contest included cooking, carpentry, hairdressing, TV-video production and robotics.“We want to keep kids interested in trades and technology,” said Jennifer Patey, executive director of Skills Canada Nunavut. “We want to let them know what the opportunities are here in Nunavut.” (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
