Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School recently received a $5,000 prize from the CWB Welding Foundation after placing third in the organization’s inaugural Forged By Youth award contest.
According to a Wednesday news release from CWB, Crocus Plains’ award-winning project was spearheaded by instructor Jamie Irwin, who helped a group of approximately 12 students construct a pair of metal angel wings that stand just over six feet tall, with 146 feathers welded to the frame.
Irwin told the Sun on Thursday afternoon that he is planning to invest this $5,000 prize into the Crocus’ welding program.
The first and second place projects for CWB’s inaugural Forged By Youth award program belong to Pontiac High School of Shawville, Que. ($15,000) and Rimbey Junior Senior High School of Rimbey, Alta. ($10,000).
The CWB Welding Foundation is a national registered charity that relies on the support of industry and community organizations to address the welding skill trade shortage in Canada.
