What is the Territorial Skills Competition?

The Territorial Skills Competition is a one day competition that serves as both a contest to test a participant's skills in a public forum, as well as a qualifier for the annual Skills Competences Canada National Competition. As a qualifier, participants may be eligible to represent Team Yukon at the National Competition.

This year, our competition will be held on April 20th, 2023* (*see specific details below) at Yukon University. Details for each competition area can be found below.

Registration is now closed. If you tried to register prior to the extended deadline and did not work OR you are interested in learning more, please contact us directly at yukoncommunications@skillscanada.com.
