(TORONTO) 11 May 2020 – This country’s largest post-secondary experiential learning platform, Enactus Canada, kicks off its first-ever 2020 Virtual Enactus Canada National Exposition today. The six-week event inspires and celebrates the entrepreneurial action of university and college student teams across Canada.
“We’re thrilled to move our National Exposition online,” says Enactus Canada President Nicole Almond. “The National Exposition is a platform to showcase our future leaders from Canada. Enactus students are the front-runners for positive change in our country, and we need this event more than ever right now.”
The event provides a platform for Enactus teams to showcase the economic, social and environmental impact they have achieved this year through their empowerment projects, vying for the title of National Champion. Panels of business executives will serve as judges to help determine this year’s National Champion team who will go on to represent Canada online at the Enactus World Cup in September.
