Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that our head office is found on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

We Are Enactus Canada

Igniting the potential of Canada’s future leaders to drive positive social, environmental, and economic impact, by empowering their entrepreneurial mindset.

Enactus Canada empowers postsecondary students to become entrepreneurial changemakers through experiential learning. Guided by academic mentors and business leaders, students create and lead social enterprises that address real challenges in communities across the country, advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As students develop their leadership, business, and innovation skills, their projects also deliver meaningful outcomes: improving lives, strengthening communities, and creating a more inclusive and sustainable Canada.

Regional, national, and international competitions give students the opportunity to showcase their impact, on both themselves and their communities, while being supported and evaluated by business and community leaders serving as mentors and judges.

Letter From the Chair & President

Dear Enactus Canada Community,

This year, Enactus Canada students, partners, and alumni continued to prove the power of entrepreneurial action to drive meaningful change across Canada and beyond.

Guided by our 2028 strategic plan, we remained focused on four pillars: Enhancing the Enactus Experience, Growing our Brand, Strengthening Financial Health, and Pursuing Operational Excellence.

In September, Saint Mary’s University captured the Enactus World Cup title in Bangkok, competing against national champion teams from 29 countries. This historic victory, our first since 2018, reflects both the strength of the Canadian program and our connection to the powerful global Enactus network.

Enhancing the Enactus Experience

Despite widespread financial pressures in post-secondary institutions, Enactus students remained deeply engaged. The year closed with 2,262 student participants across 78 active teams, including eight newly launched teams and program growth in Quebec and Manitoba.

Expanded student leadership training was delivered through regional Fall Collaboration Summits, National Leadership Summit, and regional expositions. These events offered opportunities for student leaders to connect in person, exchange best practices, and sharpen practical skills.

We also introduced new programs and accelerators that helped students take their ideas further and connect with experienced mentors. Regional competitions in Halifax, Mississauga, and Edmonton engaged more than 1,300 participants. The National Exposition in Calgary welcomed over 900 attendees to witness Saint Mary’s secure a second consecutive national title and earn the right to represent Canada at the World Cup.

Growing the Brand

We believe every student would benefit from and should have access to the Enactus experience. This year, we launched a redesigned Enactus.ca website along with a full suite of marketing tools to support peer-to-peer recruitment and elevate awareness. The new platform tells a more compelling story of Enactus Canada, our students’ work in their communities, and the programs available to support that work.

Strengthening Financial Health

Our continued impact is made possible by the generosity of individuals, foundations, and companies that invest in Enactus Canada. We are deeply grateful to all supporters recognized in this report.

Our alumni also played a key role in advancing our mission. Beyond mentorship and volunteerism, they helped grow the Innovation and Impact Challenge, now in its second year as a showcase for bold, student-led solutions.

Pursuing Operational Excellence

As an independent registered charity, Enactus Canada leads national programming while aligning with the shared values and global vision of the global Enactus network.

This year, Enactus Canada received an AA Five-Star rating from the Veritas Foundation, an independent evaluator of Canadian charities. The review found that each dollar invested in Enactus Canada generates $3.68 in social value, nearly double the national average. This recognition reflects the integrity, governance, and mission effectiveness of the organization and serves as a strong foundation as we work toward our five-year goals.

Looking Ahead

As we prepare to begin celebrations of our 40th anniversary at the 2026 National Exposition in Montreal, we are energized by the ambition of our students and the continued commitment of our partners. While post-secondary enrollment and funding challenges remain, they also reinforce the importance of Enactus as a vital contributor to experiential learning and entrepreneurship in Canada.

Our sights are firmly set on our 2028 goals: doubling student engagement to 4,000 annually, expanding our reach to 100 campuses, and enabling ventures that improve the lives of 50,000 people each year. Reaching these milestones will require shared ambition and broad-based support, including progress toward our five-year $18 million fundraising target.

The passion, collaboration, and innovation that define Enactus Canada continue to drive progress. Every day, students are creating tangible impact by addressing food insecurity, building affordable housing, advancing employment, and launching sustainable solutions in communities across the country. And in so doing, they are discovering first-hand the transformative power of entrepreneurial action.

To all the students, faculty advisors, institutions, funders, volunteers, alumni, board members, and staff, thank you for your belief in young people and what they can accomplish. Together, we are building a more ambitious, resilient, sustainable and entrepreneurial Canada.

Igniting Potential

With the support of our partners the John Dobson Foundation, McCall MacBain Foundation, and RBC Foundation we offer skills development, leadership training, and career support throughout the year.

Training and Skills Development

Supported by the John Dobson Foundation, monthly training sessions and workshops help students develop and evolve their projects, presentation skills, and branding.

This year we hosted eight training sessions engaging 200+ students across our network with special guest speakers including Michel Kelly-Gagnon, Founding President of MEI and Jessica Savage, CEO of North Strategic, MSL Canada, and Notch Video.

Leadership Development

With generous support from the McCall MacBain Foundation, we offer team presidents immersive opportunities to develop and strengthen their leadership skills several times throughout the academic year.

Collaboration Summits, held regionally in the fall, bring students together to exchange insights, engage in conversations with guest speakers, and workshop new approaches to team leadership and impact.

Leadership Summits, held in conjunction with regional and national competitions, focus on sharing best practices, leading through challenging times, and forging a collaborative community of student leaders across the nation.

The CIRCLE

This year, we reimagined our traditional career fairs as The CIRCLE Community, Innovation, Resources, Careers, Local, and Empowerment.

This community-focused engagement space was introduced at both our Regional and National events, focusing on meaningful connections between students, local businesses, social enterprises, and non-profits.

Thanks to the support of RBC Foundation, Enactus students had access to professional headshots at The CIRCLE during both Regional and National events, enhancing their professional presence and positioning them for future success.

In its inaugural year, The CIRCLE featured more than 30 organizations, each showcasing diverse career opportunities across a wide range of industries.

Enactus Global Community

Enactus Canada is part of a global network of 33 independent country operations, committed to using business as a catalyst for positive and social environmental impact.

Annually, National Champion teams, staff, and other international delegates meet at the Enactus World Cup. This year marked the 50th anniversary of Enactus (founded in 1975 as SIFE and rebranded in 2012). This golden anniversary was celebrated in Bangkok, Thailand under the theme of Generation:Re, highlighting the power of young people to reimagine, restore, and regenerate the world.

In 2026, the World Cup will be held in São Paulo, Brazil.

Bentley Systems iTwin4Good Program

In partnership with Bentley Systems, the iTwin4Good Virtual Program Developer Experience is a global six-week program that merges environmental and social action with engineering and software development skills.

A new program in 2024, Team Canada advanced to the global finals in Kazakhstan. Team Canada placed second in the finals with their Accesstructure project and was awarded $2,000 USD.

Accesstructure uses the Bentley Systems iTwin platform to develop automated accessibility audits of campus facilities, identifying compliance issues across legislation and standards. The team is a collaboration between students from Saint Mary’s University and Dalhousie University.

“The iTwin4Good challenge provided our team a platform to present innovative solutions that address social and environmental issues through technology. This challenge reinforced the importance of creating lasting impact and reminded us that, regardless of the differences in our cultures or backgrounds, we all share a common goal: to build a better, more inclusive future. The connections we made, and the ideas exchanged throughout the competition will continue to inspire us as we work towards making a meaningful difference in our communities.”

Team Accesstructure (L-R): Hannah Meagher, Anessa Hussain, and Ashish Ganapathy

Student Spotlight

Partner Profile

Since 2018, Co-operators has actively supported Enactus Canada in enhancing and expanding the reach of mental wellness programming for students and staff.

This partnership has empowered student leaders across the country to make mental health a priority for themselves, their teams, and their communities through three key initiatives: The Mental Wellness Zone, Mental Wellness Training, and Mental Wellness Ambassadors.

In 2018, Co-operators and Enactus Canada launched the Mental Wellness Zone at the Enactus Canada National Exposition. For seven consecutive years, this dedicated space helps hundreds of students and attendees manage stress and unwind in a safe environment where they can relax, socialize, refuel with healthy snacks, and recharge.

Mental Wellness Training

In 2020, Enactus Canada and Co-operators introduced Mental Wellness Training sessions –partnering with Jack.org to deliver impactful mental wellness training for student leaders and staff. This included an online workshop where participants learned the 5 Golden Rules for effectively and empathetically supporting peers facing mental health challenges. This was expanded to in-person training at our National Leadership Summits and focused on awareness, stigma reduction, and the importance of seeking support.

Mental Wellness Ambassador Program

Introduced in 2022, the Mental Wellness Ambassador Program is an experiential initiative that brings together students from postsecondary institutions across Canada. The ambassadors lead mental health education, promote actions that foster positive mental health, and connect peers with essential mental health resources.

This year, 42 ambassadors delivered a variety of initiatives and events to more than 2,000 students. The events promoted mental wellness in inclusive ways, and included art therapy sessions, midterm breakfast buffet, mindfulness Monday drop-ins, stress relief walks, and more.
