The Bashaw and District Chamber of Commerce is taking part in Lemonade Day on June 18, a free learning experience for children and youth to start, own and operate their own business.
Youth from Kindergarten to high school can register to participate. Registration opened on March 1 and will close June 1.
Once a child has registered, they pick a location to attend “Lemonade University.”
At university, each youth receives a backpack with an entrepreneur workbook and a facilitator guides them through the activities, such as creating a budget and repaying investors.
On June 18, all participants will set up their stands in their communities. They can also enter a couple of contests.
