Youth Entrepreneurship Program
In partnership with JA Ottawa, we are launching a youth entrepreneurship pilot program as part of NOKIA Sunday Bikedays. Interested children and youth, between the ages of 5 and 17, are invited to apply to operate a kiosk on select NCC parkways during NOKIA Sunday Bikedays.
The program includes a fun, hands-on educational workshop by JA Ottawa to introduce children and youth to the world of entrepreneurship, followed by an opportunity to set up a stand for three Sundays during the summer. The workshops will be organized for three different age groups: 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and 13 to17.

The NCC is still looking for volunteers who are available to help with monitoring traffic intersections. Please contact the Volunteer Centre at 613-239-5373 or volunteer_benevoles@ncc-ccn.ca.
