The Grey-Bruce Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, in partnership with Bruce Power, is honouring students from the Bluewater District School Board and Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board who recently participated in the 2026 Skills Ontario Competition.

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 the youth apprenticeship program and Bruce Power visited the Bluewater District School Board education centre in Chesley, Thursday, to share the generous donation and demonstrate their ongoing support of students and the skilled trades.
