The annual 2025 Emerging Entrepreneurs Benefit Gala, held on April 24 at the Omni Mont-Royal Hotel, was a great success! It was an opportunity to celebrate the hard work of young entrepreneurs and give them the recognition they deserve, while also networking with the partners who make this JA Québec initiative possible.
