A Test of Skill and Creativity
This year’s competition challenges participants to construct a small firewood shed, a project that demands a comprehensive application of the carpentry skills they have honed under the guidance of Jim Fitton, a respected figure at ADSB. These projects are more than just a test of technical ability; they are a canvas for creativity, craftsmanship, and the participants' unwavering dedication to their trade.
Soo Mill's Contribution: More Than Just Materials
As a leading provider of building materials, Soo Mill stands at the forefront of this initiative, supplying all the necessary resources for the competition projects. Our commitment goes beyond mere sponsorship; we are investing in the future of carpentry, ensuring that every participant has access to the highest quality materials. This not only levels the playing field but also allows each individual's talent and hard work to shine through.
Judging Excellence
The task of evaluating these projects falls to a panel of judges from SalDan Construction Group, focusing on innovation, craftsmanship, and the hard work of the participants. This year, we are honored to have ADSB alumni among the judges, including Shea MacGillivray and Josh Sidwell, both of whom have transitioned from participants in similar programs to esteemed professionals in the field. Their journeys from the classroom to the construction site embody the success that dedication to one's craft can bring.

Winners of this local competition will earn more than just accolades; they will secure a spot in the Regional competition, marking a pivotal moment in their careers. But the impact of this event extends beyond the winners. It is a testament to the vibrant and supportive community surrounding the skilled trades, a reminder of the endless possibilities that come with hard work and a passion for one's craft.
