JA Northern Alberta Business Hall of Fame Gala

The JA Northern Alberta Business Hall of Fame powered by ATB Financial honours our region’s most esteemed business visionaries, supported by Nomination Partner Doane Grant Thornton, for their life achievements and service to our economy, our communities and the collective future of Albertans. It is the premier annual gathering of business and community leaders from every sector.

Junior Achievement is one of the largest global youth-serving non-profits and the ONLY organization that teaches entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and work readiness — filling a critical gap in the Alberta Curriculum. All proceeds from this event go toward the delivery of in-class and after-school business education programs to students in grades 3–12.
