Congratulations once again to our April Pitch Competition winners! 🏆

These students had tremendous ideas and enticing pitches that stood out to the judges during our April Pitch competition held at the UPEI Catherine Callbeck Centre for Entrepreneurship.

Yesterday, we had the chance to celebrate them all over again as they officially received their cheques. This moment highlighted how far their ideas have come and marked an exciting milestone for these student-led companies. From brainstorming and refining their business concepts to confidently presenting in front of judges, each team demonstrated creativity, resilience, and true entrepreneurial drive.

Their hard work, thoughtful planning, and impressive pitches earned them not only recognition but also the funding to continue developing their entrepreneurial ideas.

We can't wait to see what's next for each of them. The journey is just getting started.

We are deeply saddened by the recent news of the passing of Mr. Robert K. Irving. Our hearts go out to his family and to the team members at Cavendish Farms and J.D. Irving, Limited.

Mr. Irving was a visionary business leader with a profound impact on our Island community and economy.

We are honored to have the opportunity to recognize him in the JA PEI Business Hall of Fame as a true role model for the next generation of business and community leaders. His hard work, discipline, commitment to excellence, and dedication to his community will have a lasting impact on the lives of Islanders for generations to come.
