We’re excited to share our recap from Skills Ontario 2026, where we highlighted the Auto Body Repair category and our Training Development Manager, Rob Gargaro, who was selected as a judge for the competition.
It was inspiring to see so many students demonstrate their skills through hands-on repair work and technical challenges. The level of precision, focus, and passion on display shows just how strong the future of the skilled trades is becoming.
