20 projects from Atlantic Canada and Nunavut will be awarded $1,000 along with prestigious mentorship and networking opportunities.
Your innovation can be a product, a service, a process, or a program that solves a problem or makes the world a better place.
You might be thinking… “That could be almost anything!” And you’re right. We are using a broad definition of innovation to capture the wide range of awesome things young Canadians are doing. Make sure your innovation fits into one of these five categories:
- Community and Civic Engagement
