The competitors are receiving new backpacks donated by Bruce Power in celebration of their achievements and to help equip them for the future. Each backpack includes a letter from Bruce Power recognizing their incredible accomplishments at the provincial challenge, along with some other resources and handy items as they consider career pathways.

Representatives from Grey Bruce OYAP and Bruce Power visited the BWDSB Education Centre in Chesley on Thursday, May 28, to share the generous donation and demonstrate their ongoing support of students and the skilled trades.
