Grade 12 students participating in the YOU Innovate Canada tournament

This year Elmwood's Grade 12 Business Leadership class is participating in the YOU Innovate Canada tournament. This tournament shows Canadians that the spark of a great business idea simply comes from looking at an ordinary thing in an extraordinary way, an entrepreneurial way.

A national tournament held in celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week, YOU Innovate Canada is an opportunity for every Canadian to engage with, connect to and see the value of entrepreneurship in their everyday lives.

Tournament participants were challenged to use the everyday household object at the centre of this tournament—a coffee cup—to create new value. They then submitted a brief video about their innovation. Now, they have the chance to win cash and a trip to Liverpool, England!

Please vote on their videos by clicking here and looking for Sam Fonberg (teammates: Alice and Gloria), Sahar Salari (teammates: Lenishka and Maddie) and Emma Dolhai (teammates: Fregine and Yasmin). Voting ends at midnight on Tuesday, October 25. You can vote once per hour.
