Ecosystem Tours

Each fall and winter semester, the Catherine Callbeck Centre for Entrepreneurship offers an ecosystem tour to a select group of students. Ecosystem tours are in partnership with multiple community members and are meant to provide attending students with the opportunity to get a deep dive into a sector and learn about the entrepreneurs and supports that exist within the community. Each ecosystem tour is offered during the mid-semester break to allow students more scheduling freedom to attend without conflicting with their class schedules.

Fall 2025 Ecosystem Tour date:

• Thursday, October 16, 8:30 am–4:30 pm
