Mr. Speaker, today’s youth are tenacious and determined and get the job done. Nowhere was that better displayed than at the recent 25th annual Newfoundland and Labrador Youth Ventures Awards. Youth Ventures Newfoundland and Labrador supports young people in turning their hobbies, interests and passions into profitable ventures. Today’s youth ventures are tomorrow’s emerging start-ups, thriving small businesses and growing employers. This program instills an entrepreneurial spirit to support a prosperous Newfoundland and Labrador. The awards ceremony recognized the best ventures from this year. I want to send my sincere congratulations to all the winners, especially venture of the year winner Dawson Greene of Green Head Growers, from Lourdes, and Anna Ryan of Seriously Dough! in Placentia for outstanding venture among those 17 years old and younger. Youth Ventures is a CBDC program and has helped start over 4,500 businesses. All the participants at the Youth Ventures Awards have so much to be proud of. Our future is in great hands.
