Believe. Achieve.
Since 1990, the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame has recognized and honoured entrepreneurs who have inspired others through their investment and success in business and community. Equally 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.
