St. Lawrence College is celebrating a big win after three students brought home medals from the Skills Ontario competition held May 5-7 in Toronto.
Ayyoub Oukkaha won Gold in Web Design and Development, while Garrett Johnson and Ty Slemin earned Silver in Masonry and Precision Machining, respectively.
