Recap: 8th Annual Celebration of Alberta’s Entrepreneurial Successes

This past weekend AHC’s Entrepreneurship Supports hosted it’s 8th Annual Celebration of Alberta’s Entrepreneurial Successes. The celebration serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of each of the newcomer entrepreneurs involved with AHC over the past year. 

With 60+ entrepreneurs receiving certificates for their successful participation in an entrepreneurship program, the day was a true testament to each newcomer's bravery as they invested in their dreams and to every unique business that has grown from the help of our business coaches, mentors, and hardworking facilitators. 

It was a special occasion to see friends and family join together to celebrate the savvy business-owners in their lives and share in speeches and performances that marveled at the how much culture and impact these entrepreneurs bring to their Canadian communities and how tremendously they have showcased resiliency. 

If you would like to learn more about AHC Entrepreneurship Supports or sign up for one of our programs (Our Fall 2023 Business Development Training starts this Saturday!), visit our website today!

We thank Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, Randy Boissonnault; Owner of Sabi Homes, Montserrat Montes de Oca Ibarra; Owner of Quetell Organics, Quetell Louise, Director of Strategic Programs and Initiatives at Explore Edmonton, Jessie Radies for sharing their wisdom and appreciation with all those who attended. Additionally, we would like to thank all of the passionate AHC team members who were involved in this event - it would not have been possible without you!
