18 elementary schools from across the region competed in the Cardboard Boat Races in Dryden.The Grade 7 and 8 students were handed cardboard, duct tape and contact cement and were tasked to construct a boat that would stay afloat.
The event was hosted by Skills Canada-Ontario and Spokesperson Karen Troupe explains the purpose of the event.
Troupe says they hope that these students will gravitate to skills trades and tech programs once they get to High School.
