JA Nova Scotia

The Nova Scotia Business Hall of Fame was established by Junior Achievement in 1993 to recognize the achievements of business leaders in our province and to inspire the young people with whom JA works to pursue careers in business. Each year, laureates are inducted to the Hall of Fame during a gala fundraising dinner. The funds raised go to support the programs of Junior Achievement.

Since 1993, 49 laureates have been inducted to the Hall of Fame.
It is housed in the World Trade and Convention Centre in Halifax.
