Highlights

After two years of fully remote operations, our Fellowship eagerly embraced the return to an in-person 3-week Training Camp, hosted by our esteemed partners at the Smith School of Business in Kingston, Ontario.

The energy of in-person interactions with the #VFCommunity infused our program with a renewed sense of vitality, fostering deeper connections among Fellows and amplifying engagement throughout the subsequent year of virtual training curriculum and community involvement.

“Venture for Canada changed my life with entrepreneurial and business workshops, networking sessions with influential and inspiring business leaders, and memories to last forever! The most important aspect I got out of spending 3 weeks (in-person) at Queen's University was meeting an all-star group of Fellows who represent tomorrow's brilliant, compassionate, and ambitious minds. Thank you to these incredible people that have and will forever change my life, mindset, and world.”
