Enactus Okanagan College has been crowned national champion and will be advancing to the world championships in Brazil!

Enactus Okanagan College has been named the 2026 Enactus Canada National Champion after defeating more than 45 universities and colleges from across the country at the Enactus Canada National Exposition in Montreal, held May 5–8.

With the national title at the entrepreneur-focused student competition, Enactus Okanagan College will now represent Canada at the Enactus World Cup in São Paulo, Brazil, this November, competing against top student teams from around the globe.

Their winning project, Paper Trail, transforms discarded textbooks into sustainable fire bricks, turning waste into something practical, innovative and impactful. What began as a classroom concept has grown into a thriving social enterprise with support from students, faculty and community partners along the way.

This achievement is a reflection of the creativity, hard work and heart that our students bring to everything they do. From national awards to individual recognitions, the entire team represented OC with passion, purpose and an incredible sense of community.

Next stop: São Paulo, Brazil, where Enactus OC will represent Canada at the Enactus World Cup this fall!

We couldn’t be prouder of this team and everything they’ve accomplished. Congratulations to all of the students, faculty mentors and supporters who helped make this moment possible.

We’re excited to welcome Okanagan College alum, Ashley Ramsay back to OC as our new Director of Entrepreneurship in the Hall School of Business and Entrepreneurship.

Now, she’s bringing that experience back to OC to help shape the next generation of entrepreneurs through exciting new initiatives, including the future Hall Entrepreneurship Incubator.

“Returning to Okanagan College is a true full-circle moment for me,” says Ramsay.

We’re proud to welcome Ashley home and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll have on our students, alumni and community.

Luke Howe, an Okanagan College student and co-founder of Enactus OC's social enterprise Paper Trail, has been named one of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce's Top 40 Under 40 — and it couldn't be more well-deserved.

Paper Trail takes old textbooks that can't be recycled and turns them into eco-friendly fire starters called Fire Bricks — keeping waste out of landfills while creating something genuinely useful for households and outdoor enthusiasts across the Okanagan.

Dr. Kyleen Myrah, Professor at the Hall School of Business and Entrepreneurship, said:
“It is exciting to see Luke Howe recognized for his leadership and community impact. As one of his professors, I have seen firsthand how his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication set him apart. Through Paper Trail, Luke has translated his vision into an innovative venture that tackles paper waste through environmentally friendly solutions. I am excited for Luke and the entire team to showcase their social impact at the upcoming Enactus National Exposition. Congratulations, Luke, on this well-deserved honour!”

Speaking of the team — best of luck to all the Enactus OC students headed to the Enactus Canada National Exposition in Montréal on May 6! You've already proven you belong on the national stage. Now go show the country what the Okanagan is made of. 💪
Congratulations, Luke — and go, Enactus OC! 🎉
