The winners and participants of the 2009 Halton Region RBC Business Plan Competition were recently honoured at a special awards celebration held at the Halton Regional Centre in Oakville. The competition gave Halton secondary school students the chance to win cash awards for their business plans. The top prize of $1,000 was awarded to Elyse Simpson of Iroquois Ridge High School in Oakville for Jangle Records, an independent record label based in Oakville focused on folk/rock/alternative artists. The second prize of $800 was awarded to Eric Ganong and Alexander Dissaurer of Abbey Park High School in Oakville for Memorable Memorials, which creates video media packages focused on family experiences of a deceased family member from compiled photographs, videos and interviews with close family members. Simpson now advances to the Central Region Regional Competition, where she will compete with the winners of other local competitions for the regional title and an associated cash prize. In the final round of the competition, each of the four regional winners will compete for the title of provincial champion, a title that is accompanied by an additional cash prize. www.thecentre.on.ca
