Ottawa, Ontario — Skills Canada has officially announced its Canadian Team for the 2024 WorldSkills competition: James Bartel of Kleefeld, Man., will represent Canada in the autobody repair competition, while Gabrielle Leclerc of Saint-Eustache, Que., will represent the nation in the car painting contest.
Both Bartel and Leclerc will compete in the 47th WorldSkills Competition in Lyon, France, in September 2024.
“[Team Canada] will begin their training to prepare,” Skills Canada wrote in last Tuesday’s media release.
Each competitor earned their spot on the national team by competing in the 2023 Skills Canada National Competition, which was held in May in Winnipeg. The highest-ranking age-eligible participant in each identified skill area was invited to the international competition.
Team Canada is set to have 28 competitors at WorldSkills 2024, each of whom will go head-to-head with other tradesfolk in search of winning the title of world’s best.
