MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO (March 10, 2015) – Samuel Laventure, owner of Laventure Arma and student at the Université de Montreal, has been named Central Canada’s 2015 Student Entrepreneur Regional Champion. Regional Champions in Central Canada were named by this country’s largest student leadership development organization, Enactus Canada, and proud program supporter, the John Dobson Foundation as part of the Student Entrepreneur National Competition.
Laventure received the title of Student Entrepreneur Regional Champion for transforming a genuine commitment to customer service into the backbone of a tremendously successful company. Laventure Arma is a company specialized in heavy floor maintenance. They also offer their clients stripping, scrubbing, polishing and waxing services through carefully selected sub-contractors.
This title allows Laventure to showcase his business and personal accomplishments on the national stage at the Enactus Canada National Exposition in Toronto on May 12, 2015, where he will compete for the title of Student Entrepreneur National Champion.
“Samuel has a strong vision for his company, and he’s realizing it because of his commitment to his clients, his team and his business,” explains Enactus Canada president Nicole Almond. “This entrepreneurial spirit is what built this country and we want to encourage and celebrate this in young leaders across Canada.”
Laventure will now compete against five other Student Entrepreneur Regional Champions from across Canada for the national title, a $10,000 cash prize and the John Dobson Cup.
