Year After Year

1

4
2024

Nourishment Nook — Second Runner-Up · Nationals in Toronto

What began as a pop-up "Corner Store" at Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital evolved into the permanent Nourishment Nook social enterprise.

5
2025

Nourishment Nook — Regional Champion · Nationals in Calgary

Nourishment Nook

Active

A student-operated retail store inside the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital providing patients, staff, and visitors with convenient access to food, toiletries, and everyday essentials — while giving local entrepreneurs a low-risk physical storefront.

Students operating Nourishment Nook Store staff assisting customer Entrepreneur products at Nourishment Nook

The Problem

Patients at Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital face extended stays that lead to homesickness and reduced well-being, while staff and visitors have limited access to basic necessities on-site.

Our Solution

A welcoming retail space inside the hospital with 7 local entrepreneurs selling their products. Co-op students manage daily operations — inventory, sales, and vendor coordination.

Key Highlights

$11,861 passed directly to participating entrepreneurs from store revenue. 50 customers acquired at the Cravings Café pop-up. 10 Enactus alumni supporting long-term sustainability.

🙋 How You Can Get Involved

Volunteers help with store shifts (sales, restocking, customer service at Glenrose), vendor coordination (onboarding and communicating with local entrepreneurs), events (pop-up setup and takedown), and impact tracking (logging sales data and reporting). No prior retail experience needed — we train you.

Project Recolour Active

A circular economy initiative that collects discarded crayons from restaurants and community events, then sorts, melts, and remoulds them into new, usable crayons — keeping paraffin wax out of Edmonton's landfills and back in the hands of children.

The Problem

Millions of crayons end up in landfills each year. Made from petroleum-based paraffin wax, they don't biodegrade — contributing to long-term environmental harm.

Our Solution

We partner with restaurants and community organizations to collect used crayons, then process them through sorting, melting, and remoulding into new colourful sets sold at the Nourishment Nook.

Key Highlights

10,000+ crayons diverted from landfill. Collaboration with Edmonton Fringe Festival each August. Partnership with AdaptAbilities for sorting and peeling. Crayons sold through the Nourishment Nook, with old wrappers being recycled into paper for stamped packaging.

🙋 How You Can Get Involved

Volunteers help with crayon collection runs (picking up from restaurant partners), sorting & peeling sessions (processing donations with AdaptAbilities), melting & remoulding (hands-on production days), Fringe Festival booth (selling and engaging the public each August), and packaging (assembling finished crayon sets). Great for anyone interested in sustainability, circular economy, or community events.

Project CASE Active

A student development program that prepares NAIT students for the workforce through case competitions, hands-on business workshops, and direct access to industry professionals — building the skills and confidence that traditional coursework alone can't provide.

SDGs Addressed

The Problem

NAIT students often lack access to the kind of practical, competitive business experience that employers value — SWOT analysis, financial modelling, and professional presentation are rarely taught hands-on.

Our Solution

Free business workshops (SWOT, PESTEL, Excel, PowerPoint), an internal case competition using real-world business scenarios, and an industry networking event on translating case skills into career success.

Key Highlights

12 students competed in the internal case competition. 19 students connected with industry professionals on resume building, career positioning, and professional branding.

🙋 How You Can Get Involved

Volunteers help with workshop facilitation (presenting or co-facilitating sessions on Excel, SWOT, or PowerPoint), case competition judging and mentoring (coaching participants through real-world scenarios), event logistics (setup, registration, coordination), and industry networking events (connecting students with professionals). Ideal for members with business, finance, or public-speaking backgrounds — or anyone who wants to develop those skills.

The Problem

Patients at Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital face extended stays that lead to homesickness and reduced well-being. Staff and visitors have limited access to basic necessities on-site, and local entrepreneurs lack accessible, low-risk retail channels.

Our Solution

A welcoming retail space inside the hospital where 7 local entrepreneurs sell their products. Co-op students hired as Store Managers handle daily operations — inventory, sales tracking, vendor coordination, and customer service.

Our Impact

$56,404.49 in product sales + $7,242 in vendor rent + $22,500 in grants + $734.62 from the Cravings Café pop-up = $86,881.11 total revenue. $11,861.05 passed directly to entrepreneurs. 50 customers acquired at the Cravings Café pilot.

How We Contribute to the SDGs

SDG 3 — Good Health & Well-Being

Patients at Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital gain convenient in-hospital access to food, personal care items, and everyday essentials — reducing stress during extended stays and improving daily quality of life for those in active recovery.

SDG 8 — Decent Work & Economic Growth

The store model removes traditional barriers to entrepreneurship — local vendors gain a physical retail presence without high overhead costs, while NAIT co-op students manage live business operations and build industry-ready skills that directly translate to careers.

SDG 17 — Partnerships for the Goals

Nourishment Nook is built on cross-sector collaboration — Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital provides the space, NAIT supplies the student talent, ENAA alumni provide mentorship and continuity, and grant partners like Mitacs fund research that strengthens long-term impact.

The Problem

Millions of crayons end up in landfills each year. Made from petroleum-based paraffin wax, they don't biodegrade — releasing CO₂ and methane as they break down, contributing to long-term environmental harm.

Our Solution

We collect used crayons from restaurants and community events, then process them through sorting (with AdaptAbilities), melting, and remoulding into new colourful sets — which are sold at the Nourishment Nook and donated through the Zebra Centre give-back model.

Our Impact

553 crayons produced total — 428 distributed at Fringe Festival (Fringe Kids program), 125 recently produced. 11.06 kg of waste repurposed into finished products. 60 custom educational colouring sheets developed to promote sustainability awareness.

How We Contribute to the SDGs

SDG 12 — Responsible Consumption & Production

Recolour builds a full circular loop: used crayons are collected from schools, restaurants, and community partners, then sorted, melted, and remoulded into brand-new crayons distributed back to children. With over 10,000 crayons recycled, the project demonstrates that responsible consumption is achievable at the community level.

SDG 13 — Climate Action

Every crayon recycled keeps non-biodegradable paraffin wax out of Edmonton's landfills, preventing the release of CO₂ and methane during breakdown or incineration. Through its partnership with AdaptAbilities, Recolour also creates meaningful employment for people with disabilities — proving that climate action and social inclusion can go hand in hand.

How We Contribute to the SDGs

SDG 4 — Quality Education

CASE delivers free, experiential programming that goes beyond the classroom — business workshops, real case competitions with cash prizes, and direct access to industry professionals. In its inaugural year, 28 NAIT students built critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills that directly strengthen career readiness.

SDG 10 — Reduced Inequalities

NAIT students from any program can participate regardless of prior business experience. By removing cost and credential barriers, CASE levels the playing field — giving every student access to the professional development, networking, and competitive experience that shapes careers and closes opportunity gaps.

SDG 17 — Partnerships for the Goals

CASE is powered by partnerships — industry professionals volunteer as judges, mentors, and speakers, contributing real-world perspective that no textbook can replicate. These relationships strengthen each event, create ongoing connections for students, and build the foundation for the program's long-term growth.
