JCI Kelowna & Community Futures award Vegilante with $5000 Bursary

Community Futures is proud to be a partner with JCI Kelowna in awarding a local entrepreneur $5000 to help support and grow their business. This bursary money is rasied through the Rene Bourgault Legacy Golf Tournament, an event held annually in memory of Rene. This year's recipient is Martin Rivard of Vegilante Plant Based Foods, a local company that makes tempeh, a high protein, plant based, fermented food. Martin faced a number of challenges during start up, but pushed through and recently launched his business! Look for him and his tempeh at the local farmer's markets. Congratulations Martin and Vegilante!
