🌿🥈 Silver for KPU Horticulture at Skills Canada Nationals! 🥈🌿
What an incredible achievement! Last weekend, KPU students James Stevenson and Matthew Hewitt brought home a Silver Medal in the Landscape Gardening competition at the Skills Canada National Competition in Toronto, showcasing their talent among the best young landscapers in the country.
Representing KPU on the national stage, James and Matthew spent two challenging days bringing a landscape design to life from the ground up. Their finished project incorporated retaining walls, a paver patio, custom woodwork, low-voltage lighting, and plant installations, showcasing a wide range of technical skills and craftsmanship.
Competing against top students from six provinces across Canada, they demonstrated the focus, determination, and attention to detail required to succeed at the highest level. In a competition where every measurement counts, their exceptional work secured a place on the podium.
We are incredibly proud of James and Matthew for their achievement and for representing KPU with professionalism, skill, and pride.
