For the second year in a row Alex Davidson has been named P.E.I.’s 2014 Student Entrepreneur Provincial Champion.

Provincial champions from across Canada have named by the country’s largest student leadership development organization, Enactus Canada, which supports the John Dobson Foundation as part of the Student Entrepreneur National Competition.

Davidson will compete against three other student entrepreneur provincial champions from Atlantic Canada for the chance to move on to the 2014 Enactus Canada National Exposition in Calgary, Alberta April 28-30. The national champion will receive a $10,000 cash prize and take home the John Dobson Cup.
