June 8, where the Grade 11 student won gold in the Job Skill Demonstration this past week. Job skill demonstration is a 20-30 minute step-by-step presentation on a specific trade or skill, presented like an infomercial. The territory sent 19 competitors from its different Skills Nunavut clubs to compete in this week’s national competition. Skills Nunavut took home one other medal: Chidinma Umenwofor-Nweze won bronze for public speaking. (PHOTO BY TAHA TABISH)
