Announcing the 2026 Canadian Tire Environmental Sustainability Challenge Regional Champions. This sustainability-focused challenge empowers teams to develop projects that tackle climate change through the concept of circularity while teaching others to do the same.
“A big congratulations to the regional champions from Atlantic Canada and to all of the teams who participated in this year’s Canadian Tire Environmental Sustainability Challenge,” said Lindsay Colley, Associate Vice President, ESG Strategy and Integration, Canadian Tire Corporation. “Our team is consistently impressed with the ideas presented by the students, and we wish all of the finalists the best of luck as they showcase their projects at the National Exposition in Montreal.”
In addition to recognition, teams also receive funding to further their projects and social ventures: Champions – $1,500, Runners-Up – $1,000, Second Runners-Up – $500.
League champions from each region will represent their schools in the final round of competition in Montreal at the Enactus Canada National Exposition from May 6-8.
