Entrepreneurship Event and Youth Awards Day
Sask DLC students attended the 18th annual Haddock Entrepreneurial Speaker Presentation and the 7th Get A Bigger Wagon Young Entrepreneur Awards (GABWYEA) that took place on January 21, 2025, at the Edwards School of Business. Entrepreneur Grant Kook (from Outlook, SK) started the event with an entertaining and inspirational speech on perseverance, determination and encouraged the students to embrace the opportunity to become an entrepreneur. As well, young business owners from 7 to 18 years of age received cash prizes ranging from $500 to $1500 in five age categories. Sask DLC students should watch for this event next year with the upcoming entrepreneurship awards event opening again in September 2025.
