Britannia Business Club Wins BC Company of The Year for 3rd Consecutive Year!

Britannia's Business Club, Quenched, has been named the CIBC Student Company of the Year by Junior Achievement for the 3rd consecutive year, beating out dozens of schools and organizations in claiming this coveted prize.  Quenched generated a ROI of 114% and donated $500 to CLICK and the Vancouver Food Bank.  These young entrepreneurs created uniquely themed tumblers, one promoting school spirit and the other focusing on wellness, that were sold throughout the community and Granville Island.  In addition, Quenched received recognition for Best Shareholders' Report.  These awards took place at the Celebrate JA! event held on June 6 at the SFU Beedie School of Business.
