STORIES OF
IMPACT
Our supporter network is made up of an incredible group of business leaders, corporate leaders,
entrepreneurs and alumni, and we are fortunate to
have these groups contribute their expertise and
resources to NEXT cohorts each year. Over the last
year, our corporate partners have been hands-on
in our programming in a myriad of ways. From engaging in our programs with opportunities such as
hosting Office Hours on with experts from Magna,
to having colleagues from the likes of Scotiabank
and EY join as mentors for NEXT’s Mentoring Program. We’ve also had many external engagement
collaborations including participation in our Fireside Chat series with BDC’s Michelle Scarborough
or RBC’s Sid Paquette, and features in GRIT from
Air Canada and members of our donor community.
On the following pages, we share several of these
stories of impact, detailing how our supporter community is truly enriching our programming and in
turn, the lives of our program participants.
