About the JA Newfoundland and Labrador Business Hall of Fame
Since 1990, Junior Achievement has recognized and honoured entrepreneurs who have inspired others through their investment and success in business and community. As significantly, it has provided the future leaders of our province - our youth - with role models of excellence. In addition to celebrating business excellence, the event is Junior Achievement’s signature fundraiser, supporting work that focuses on the development of financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship for youth.
