2019 Recipient
The Haskayne School of Business and the Trico Charitable Foundation believe Calgary can be a global hub for social entrepreneurship and leaders in the evolution of capitalism. The Trico Foundation Social Entrepreneurship Centre was established at Haskayne in 2019 thanks to a $5-million gift from the Trico Foundation to support student experiences inside and outside the classroom including community-based learning, internships, curriculum development and research. To build on this momentum, both organizations are collaborating on the Social EnterPrize award for outstanding Canadian social enterprises and What’s Next YYC, which awards prize money to Calgary & area based social enterprises.

The 2019 Social EnterPrize recipient was selected from entries across Canada and the recipient is Skwachàys Lodge, a boutique Vancouver hotel with a social mission that made Time Magazine’s 2018 World’s Greatest Places list and successfully enhanced business sustainability and built community pride.
