Eric Colonna

This summer, Eric Colonna, BCom’23, participated in Kingston Economic Development’s Summer Company. The Ontario government-funded program for entrepreneurs provides participants with hands-on business mentoring from local business leaders and up to $3,000. Eric’s business, Pick 6 Athletics, is a specialized training program for football players aged 8-19 that zeros in on speed and defensive back skills, bridging the gap between need and availability in the Kingston area. “Complementing my knowledge gained from Commerce, I’ve learned all of the essentials for starting a business in the Summer Company program,” he says.
