They're also granted a $2,000 budget to fund various learning opportunities and their participation in industry events of their choice.

Nunn is one of the three people from Ontario. The remainder of the 24 are from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.

The selection competition will be held in the coming weeks in which 16 will go on to be paired with an industry mentor.
