Entrepreneurial skills showcased at Grade 12 McEwen Fair

On Monday, Dec. 6, the Grade 12 McEwen Leadership class held the 12th annual Entrepreneurship Fair in Staunton Gallery at St. Andrew's College. 

The students presented their "pitches" and set up display booths featuring their entrepreneurial venture ideas to a panel of judges and fellow St. Andrew's students. 

There was a lot of support shown for the students' venture presentations, and those in attendance took the time to vote for the People's Choice Awards.
