A
Thank
you
so
much
our
old
speaker.
Well,
this
past
weekend,
enactus
Okanagan
College
traveled
to
Toronto
Ontario
to
compete
in
the
enactus
Canada
National
Exposition
final
round.
I
am
so
proud
to
say
that
this
Okanagan
team
is
the
first
from
western
Canada
to
be
crowned
the
national
champion
out
of
more
than
60
teams
across
Canada
at
the
final
round,
65
CEOs
and
Executives
judged
the
five
finalist
teams
on
their
projects
and
teams,
entrepreneurial
leadership,
Innovation
business
principle,
application
and
sustainable
positive
impact.
Their
winning
project
is
extraordinary.
A
Unusually
Good
Food
Company
was
inspired
by
a
local
student
who
noticed
that
large
amounts
of
apples
are
wasted
each
year
because
they
don't
fit
the
grocery
store
appearance
standard.
In
response,
the
enactus
Okanagan
College
team
worked
alongside
the
north
Okanagan
Valley
Gleaners
to
turn
these
unusual
apples
into
healthy
apple
chips
that
have
been
distributed
to
Local
Schools
food
banks
and
even
Guatemala
and
Ukraine
this
year,
Andrew
klingel
one
of
enactus's
Faculty
advisors
and
a
professor
with
Okanagan
College's
School
of
Business.
Had
this
to
say
about
the
win
and
I
quote.
A
This
award
recognizes
their
resilience
and
determination
to
fight
food
insecurity
and
climate
change.
The
true
winners
are
the
schools,
food
banks
and
international
organizations
that
have
received
more
than
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
servings
of
apple
chips.
End
quote:
the
team
didn't
stop
there,
as
the
students
began,
producing
not
only
the
chips
but
juice
other
other
Fruit
Products,
as
well
as
utilizing
their
apple
pumice
byproduct
to
create
Apple
candles.
