Cowichan Secondary School students Dax Parlee, Carl Xi and Aaron Fisher will moved on to the Skills Canada provincial round after high marks in the regionals.
t’s springtime in the Cowichan Valley, which inevitably means the automotive students at Cowichan Secondary School have once again cleaned up at the regional Skills Canada competition. Aaron Fisher, Brandon Kirton, and Chase Manhas took ¿rst, second and third place respectively in the competition’s auto-mechanic category. And the school’s electronic students are fast joining in on the tradition. Students Colton Mann,
Dax Parlee and Piqi (Carl) Xi took the top three spots in their category at the regionals, which were held at Vancouver Island University’s Nanaimo campus on March 30. The electrical students plus the ¿rst-place automotive winner moved on to the provincials in Abbotsford on Wednesday. Fisher’s competition covers everything from suspension and steering, to brakes and electrical know-how. He’s grown up learning about mechanics, and has worked at High Point Auto Care for more than three years. Fisher plans to make
a career out of his school studies. So do Parlee and Xi — both are aspiring electrical engineers. “We put together a fairly complicated circuit,� Parlee said of the electrical Skills competition. “And we had to do reverse engineering,� added Xi, who has just received acceptance into the applied science programs at the University of British Columbia and McGill. Automotive instructor Ryan Gough said the community plays a huge role in the success of his auto-mechanic students.
