High school students from across six school districts put their welding skills to the test at the eighth annual Calgary High School Welding Rodeo, taking place at the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Canada Lodge 146.
There were about 50 students in attendance all trying to impress industry experts while competing against one another.
“Everybody has this bad stigma around the industry and that whole blue collar . It's not what it was 20 years ago, the advances in safety as well as the treatment towards others. It's something I'm so proud to be a part of.” “Today's been so great, because it's given me a chance to actually see what welding really is, because I haven't been welding for very long,” said Lang.Lang says the door is open to having a career in welding.
