Visit www.venturecafe.ca for further information about the EA Program

The Learning Partnership’s “EA” experience is a hands-on entrepreneurial journey. It’s about sparking students’ natural curiosity, abilities and passion to seize an opportunity – and in the process, learning to make the most of resources and community networks, engaging others and discovering just what they can do!

Each venture is a unique, local partnership open to K – 12 students, teachers and business partner volunteers. Supported by a rich network of fellow EA participants, and TLP’s resources across Canada, students are able to “live” their curriculum while turning their ideas into reality.

Entrepreneurial Adventure - BMO Financial Group National Student Innovation Award Recipients 2012

The BMO Financial Group National Student Innovation Awards were established in 2003 to recognize and celebrate outstanding entrepreneurial achievement of students participating in the Entrepreneurial Adventure program across the country.  Awards are presented in four categories:  Teamwork, Impact on School or Community, Enterprising Spirit and Originality.  The Judges’ Choice Award is an all-round award aimed at recognizing a venture team that has stood out amongst its peers as ‘the best of the best’ and exhibited all the characteristics of a successful entrepreneurial team to break through barriers and turn their ideas into reality.  This award recognizes a venture team’s overall distinction, with particular emphasis on how the venture experience or participation in the EA program has impacted the life, motivation and learning of one or more students.  Since it began, more than 35,000 young entrepreneurs from across Canada have been involved in Entrepreneurial Adventure, which has resulted in the creation of more than 1000 successful student driven social entrepreneurship ventures that have raised over $2.5 million for local and international charities.
