2018 TERRITORIAL SKILLS COMPETITION
Show us your skills! Compete in the 20th annual Territorial Skills Competition in Yellowknife
on April 27-28, 2018.
The Territorial Skills Competitions is open to students in grades 9-12 for the secondary level
competitions, and to registered apprentices or other post-secondary students pursuing a
career in their chosen skill area.
The philosophy behind the TSC is to:
● Reward students for excellence;
● Raise awareness of the importance and value of skilled trades and technology
careers;
● Directly involve industry in evaluating student performance; and keep training
relevant to employers’ needs.
As a competitor, you will have the opportunity to:
● Challenge yourself;
● Meet other young northerners who are interested in the same trade/technology
as you;
● Learn what skills might be expected by industry in the trade or technology that
interests you;
● Talk to industry experts who could become valuable future contacts;
● Show the value of careers in skilled trades and technology; and
● Win a medal and a possible spot on Team NWT at the Skills Canada National
Competition.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE AND COSTS?
Each competitor must pay a $50 registration fee, or $25 prior to the early bird deadline.
This fee is refundable up to 7 days before the event, after which time it is non-refundable. If
the fee is a barrier to participation for an individual, please contact Skills Canada NWT to
discuss options. Included in your registration fee is out of city travel expenses,
accommodation and meals.

● Are less than 22 years old on December 31st of the year of the competition;

● Are a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant;
● Have training/experience in their chosen contest area;
● Have enough skill and experience in their chosen contest area to compete safely
and have a positive experience at the competition. It is the responsibility of each
candidate’s coach/chaperone to ensure that all requirements listed on the Contest
Description are attainable by the competitor.
Students are eligible to compete in Post-Secondary level contests if they:
● Are a registered apprentice or attended a training institution at any time between

● Are a resident of the NWT OR are currently attending school in the NWT;

Contests are open to competitors who meet all of the criteria in the Contest Description for
their chosen contest. Where regional competitions are offered, the regional competitions
are qualifying events for secondary students who wish to compete in the Territorial Skills
Competition. Where a Regional Competition is not offered and several students from the
same school/region wish to compete in the same contest, in-school or local competitions
may be used to determine the most skilled candidates for the TSC.
Due to limited space in each contest area, Skills Canada NWT reserves the right to limit
participation. Contact Skills Canada NWT for more information about contest spaces and
regional representation. Registration is first come, first served for Post-Secondary
competitors.
The 2018 TSC will be held on Friday April 27th and Saturday April 28th. It is a 2-day
competition. Participants and their coaches/advisors will be away from work/school for at
least two full days and, in some cases, may require extra time for travel and overnight
accommodations.
Youth under the age of 18 who travel to Yellowknife for the competition must be
accompanied by a coach/chaperone. A minimum of one chaperone is required per five
competitors from a school or community; the chaperone may be any adult with no criminal
record. Skills Canada NWT will not be responsible for supervision of competitors while in
Yellowknife for the Territorial Skills Competition.
