Queen’s is proud to have six members of our community represented in Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 2021 list for making differences in their fields.
Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 recognizes outstanding achievers in Canadian business – visionaries and innovators – under the age of 40, who are changing the way things are done.
The honourees are selected by the Top 40 Advisory Board which is composed of respected Canadian industry leaders, many of which are former recipients of the Top 40 honour.
