Every month, our community shows up and delivers. Here's what some of our alumni have been up to lately. 🐝 Baker's Bakery - Cohort 21 Baker's Bakery has joined the Loblaws family and will be reaching shelves across Canada. Their Honey Comb Crack is a superfood snack made with simple ingredients and infused with bee pollen, a natural source of nutrients. Look for it at a Loblaws near you. Pat Baker 🥟 DON'YA Ukraine's Kitchen - Cohort 20 Jorgia Lindquist travelled to Antigua to compete against entrepreneurs from across North and South America in the JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Award — and came home as Canada's first ever international winner in the competition's 20+ year history. DON'YA Ukraine's Kitchen, the Edmonton-based social enterprise she co-founded with her mother, celebrates Ukrainian food and culture while employing Ukrainians who fled the war. 🥯 Bannock Express - Cohort 18 partnered with APTN's Chuck and the First People's Kitchen to bring Bannock Burgers to the screen and tackle food insecurity in Saskatoon. Alongside sponsors and donors, they cooked for Saskatoon's unhoused community, turning a TV appearance into something that mattered well beyond the cameras. @rachel smith 🧑‍🍳 Askaway Recipes - Cohort 21 @Mariam Ayob has been named Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2026 by the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce — a recognition of the resilience, dedication, and impact she brings to everything she builds. 🏆 🥞 Flourish Pancakes - Cohort 7 Andrew Andriano is a finalist for the EY Canada Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2026, selected from more than 130 entrepreneurs recognized for leadership, purpose, and community impact across the country. 🥞 🥣 Goldy's®️ - Concept to Market Sprint alumni Daniel Carson and @Daniel Schreiber have had quite the year. From winning pitch and growth competitions across Canada to launching their product to space with NASA, they've been building with purpose from day one. This week, they closed two funding rounds, capping off a milestone year for the family-friendly breakfast brand they set out to create together. 🚀 This is what Canadian CPG founders are capable of. 🇨🇦 #VentureparkAccelerator #MemberWins #CanadianCPG #CPGCanada
