Halifax team to represent Canada on a global stage with world-changing projects
For the second year in a row, students from Saint Mary’s University have been named Canada’s national champions in a countrywide competition celebrating bold ideas and real-world impact.
Their win means Saint Mary’s will once again represent Canada at the Enactus World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand, this September, competing against top student teams from around the world.
The team rose to the top at the Enactus Canada National Exposition, held this week at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, where more than 600 students from over 50 post-secondary institutions across the country gathered to showcase their work. After three rounds of intense competition, Saint Mary’s emerged victorious.
At the heart of their success are two projects making a difference here at home:
Square Roots fights food waste and hunger by rescuing “imperfect” produce and selling it affordably across Nova Scotia.
Alaagi™ offers a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging—turning seaweed into biodegradable wrap.
Enactus Saint Mary’s now moves to the global stage, bringing with them Canadian innovation, East Coast spirit, and a commitment to change the world.
