The 2021-2022 school year has come to an end and we are so excited to announce our winners for the Create A Logo competition (grades 4-6), Community Matters competition (grade 7-9), and our Y-LEARN competition (grades 7-12). Student participants from across the province identified gaps in their communities and developed business opportunities to solve those gaps. Each participant demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit and passion for their community in their submissions. Congratulations to all who participated!
