Canada's annual Next Generation Leaders forum, held 12th-18th August in Halifax, Nova Scotia, brought together more than 150 top youth leaders from 10 countries for business workshops. 
A group of future business leaders from the Caymans also attended. Eight of Cayman's highest performing Junior Achievers were chosen out of more than 200 young people who take part every year in the JA Company Programme to attend the forum. 
In addition to the young people from Cayman, participants represented Canada, the Bahamas, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Norway, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the United States. 
The youngsters from Cayman found the experience invaluable, and let everybody know about it . 
Jason Foster said: "I can hardly express how wonderful the experience was and how grateful I am for being awarded this great honor."
Moses Ebanks added, "Junior Achievement has truly opened my eyes to the operations of the business world." 
Teresa Owen Foster, programme director of JA Cayman and ambassador chaperone for the trip, said, "I cannot believe how much these young people grew in the space of a week. Watching and listening to their discussions and presentations."
