Congratulations to these students, teachers, and Doppler for reporting this great story.
It is so great to see a story on 12 young folks competing, not just in sports but in Life Skills that will get them jobs. Exceptional skills that are needed in our community, to sustain us and to assist themselves and others in these industries succeed.
I hope all these students and others perfect these skills and continue to make their home here in Muskoka. We all benefit by having these skilled individuals here in Muskoka. Well done,
Excellent results. Way to go!
I am beyond proud of Cade, Matt, Spencer, Shane, Nate, Ty, Wilson and Ella and all others for choosing to go into the skilled trades.
i have always admired young students who are inspired to go into that line of career.
Every single choice of work is an important cog in the wheel of professions.
Hold your heads high.
Good luck and don’t give up because we need you so very much.
Sincerely
Martina Schroer
