Dust off the lemonade stand, kids, the Grande Journee des Petits ­Entrepreneurs is just around the corner

The third edition of Sherbrooke’s Grande Journee des Petits Entrepreneurs, a day celebrating the business spirit of 5 to 12 year olds, is set to take place on June 16 at the Plaza de l’Ouest in Rock Forest, in front of the borough office at 1000 rue des Hauts-Bois. Between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. the public is invited to visit a marvel of miniature marketing as young businesspeople from across the city try to peddle their wares under the watchful eye of 12 local business ambassadors. The initiative in Sherbrooke owes its start to Rock Forest Councillor Annie Godbout, who was inspired by the work of Mathieu Ouellet, Isabelle Genest, and Catherine Morissette who got the first event going in Quebec City five years ago. See full story in the Thursday, May 31 edition of The Record.
