Congratulations to the four outstanding students of Cobequid Education Centre (CEC) who beat out six other high schools at this year’s Ready, Set, Cook! Competition at the Sobeys Culinary Centre at NSCC Akerley Campus on April 28.

Teams from seven high schools across Nova Scotia competed this year, each mentored by a professional chef. CEC had the good fortune to work with chef Wayne Parkington from the Holiday Inn Hotel & Conference Centre, Truro.

Each team prepared a three-course meal and was evaluated on culinary skills, teamwork and presentation by a prestigious panel of chefs. The competition was fierce. Sir John A. Macdonald High School grabbed the silver medal, while Hants East Rural High School snached the bronze. Auburn Drive High School, Citadel High, Central Kings Rural High, Northeast Kings Education Centre all brought the goods too. Well done!

Congrats to everyone who participated in the skills competitions presented by Skills Canada NS this month in Yarmouth, Dartmouth and Pictou. There is plenty of action left. If you’re in the Halifax/Dartmouth area Friday, April 8, drop by NSCC Waterfront Campus to watch competitors fight to advance to Skills Canada National Competition in Québec City this June. If you’re in Cape Breton on Tuesday, April 19, skills competitions are happening at Memorial Composite High School in North Sydney.

Come see who will be this year’s Aaron Hebb, the man who is representing Nova Scotia at the WorldSkills Competition this year in London, England.
