DON WALL - After two hours of work during the Green Energies Grades 7 and 8 Team of Four contest these Toronto students had made good progress. The top three finishers in the competition were teams from, in order, Upper Canada DSB , Halton DSB and Toronto DSB .
DON WALL – Right, Humber College plumbing instructor Aaron Rosenblum is committed to playing his part in recruiting the next generation of plumbers. Event convenor Paymon Sani, a faculty member at Sheridan College, and former convenor Chris Tucker, a construction technology teacher currently under secondment with the Ministry of Education, have volunteered to participate in running the competition for almost a decade each, they say.
The competition was held May 6, with the students among 2,800 competitors from elementary, secondary and post-secondary divisions. Fourteen-year-old Siddart K., a Grade 8 student from Woodbridge, declared himself interested but uncommitted after a hands-on stint at a steamfitting and pipefitting booth.
