16-year-old Matthew Eliot started his own business this summer!

Matthew is making money serving up ice cream bars, drumsticks and Haagen Dazs on his Ice Cream Float boat.  Ice Cream delivered dockside…Brilliant!

Matthew Eliot and about 39 other teens were at the Southshore Centre Wednesday morning for the launch of the Summer Company Program.

The provincial program provides aspiring student entrepreneurs with business training, mentorship and up to $3,000 in grants to start and run their own summer business.

The students are from the Small Business Centre, Simcoe-Muskoka YMCA, College Boreal and Nottawasaga Futures.
