program empowers participants to become their own boss and guides them in understanding
the intricacies of entrepreneurship. Successful applicants receive financial support of $1,500
towards their business start-up and partake in business training and mentorship to assist in
successfully running a business. Upon completing the program, participants receive an
additional financial grant of up to $1,500.
Past Summer Company entrepreneurs in Renfrew County have included a variety of businesses
such as handmade artisanal items, graphic art production, branded apparel, baked goods,
market gardens, lawn care services, auto detailing, dog grooming, esthetics, firewood
processing, upcycled clothing, handcrafted cottage décor and rustic furniture, children’s
entertainment, photography, photo restoration and small engine repair. Many Summer
Company entrepreneurs continue to run their businesses year ‘round and/or over consecutive
summers.
The Summer Company program is delivered by Enterprise Renfrew County on behalf of the
Province of Ontario. It is a highly sought-after initiative; therefore, interested students are
strongly urged to submit their application at their earliest convenience. The application
