Are you a student with a creative business idea? Applications are now accepted for the young entrepreneur program – Summer Company. The program provides funding, training and mentoring to assist high school and post-secondary students in starting a seasonal business.
The program is open to youth ages 15 – 29 who are returning to school in the fall. Approved participants are provided a grant of up to $3,000 to start and operate a summer business. The application deadline is May 23, 2022 and there is limited space in the program. Interested youth are invited to
register for a virtual information session taking place on March 30, 2022 from 4 – 4:30pm. Full program eligibility and guidelines can be found on the Government of Ontario’s
