With assistance from teams of dedicated Regional Coordinators and Committees, Skills Canada BC will host its in-person Regional Competitions in communities around the province (January to April 2025) in the K-12 and Post-Secondary education systems.

2025 Regional Acknowledgement of Risk and Photo Release
If your school district does not have blanket acknowledgement of risk/photo release which covers risks and allows the local host site or college to use a competitor’s photograph, Skills Canada British Columbia will be using a paper Regional Acknowledgement of Risk and Photo Release that is located here.
