Noah Harding Bio

Born and raised in Calgary, AB, Noah Harding is on his journey to represent Team Canada at the prestigious WorldSkills competition in Lyon, France.

Noah's fascination with plumbing began at a young age as he watched his father and older brother work in the trade. Over the years, Noah spent his free time helping at the shop and learning the materials and tools of the trade. Witnessing the achievements of both his father and older brother throughout their careers continually inspires Noah to follow in their footsteps.

Growing up, Noah witnessed his older brother’s journey through the skills competition, which fueled his excitement and desire to carry on in his family’s footsteps. Noah pursued plumbing in his post-secondary education and after his first year, competed in the Alberta Provincial Skills Competition and won gold. This success propelled his passion and desire into high gear, leading him to compete in and place in the National Skills Competition in 2023.

After the National Competition, Noah was welcomed to Team Canada and will represent the country in Lyon, France at the WorldSkills 2024.

As a member of Team Canada, Noah is undergoing rigorous training and preparation, honing his skills under the guidance of experienced coaches and mentors. His dedication to mastering his craft is unwavering, as he devotes countless hours to perfecting every technique and refining every detail of his work.

The WorldSkills competition will serve as the ultimate test of Noah's abilities, as it brings together the world's most talented young professionals in a fierce showcase of skill and expertise.

Beyond his individual achievements, Noah's journey exemplifies the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship that defines the WorldSkills community. His willingness to share knowledge, collaborate with fellow competitors, and support his teammates reflects not only his exceptional talent, but also his humble and compassionate character.

With his sights set on new horizons and fresh challenges, Noah Harding continues to push the boundaries of excellence.
