We have the pleasure of hosting some remarkable young entrepreneurs. This weekend you will meet small businesses led by local students participating in the Summer Company program. With the support of funding, training, and mentorship, these students are spending the summer turning their business ideas into reality.

Visit the 2nd floor and meet some amazing young people.

Every purchase and conversation helps them gain valuable entrepreneurial experience and build skills that will benefit them for years to come.

Through the Summer Company program, students can get start-up money to kick-off a new summer business, along with advice and mentorship from local business leaders to help get the business up and running.

Eligible participants receive up to $1500 in start-up funds and business coaching from the Small Business Centre Advisors throughout the summer. Students who complete the program and meet all the requirements receive an additional $1500 when they return to school.

A limited number of spaces are available each year and the application process is competitive. Interested students are encouraged to visit the Summer Company website for additional information.
