Youth
Entrepreneurs
of the
YearAwards
the league of innovators, a national canadian
charity started by Hootsuite founder Ryan Holmes,
has long been one of the country's sharpest incubators
of young entrepreneurial talent. Now, the team has
launched its own awards program, seeking to crown
Youth Entrepreneurs of the Year winners from
across the country. We at BCBusiness jumped at the
chance to profile the B.C.-based winners of this year's
competition. While you might see some familiar faces
from our recent 30 Under 30 awards (something we
take as a major compliment), we've dug up plenty
of new details about everyone you'll see in the
coming pages. Without further ado, we're proud to
introduce the first annual B.C. winners of the Youth
Entrepreneurs of the Year awards.
The B.C.-based
winners of the
first annual Youth
Entrepreneurs of
the Year awards are
making big change
in their industries
