Young entrepreneurs pour their hearts into success on Alberta’s Lemonade Day

By Haylee Winger
On June 14, 2025, over 1,300 kids from more than 66 towns across Alberta took part in
Lemonade Day — a province-wide celebration of youth entrepreneurship. Since its
inception in Alberta in 2019, Lemonade Day has empowered young participants with
real-world business experience while encouraging them to give back to their
communities. Over the years, more than $41,000 has been donated to local charities by
these young entrepreneurs, with this year’s contribution total still being calculated.
In the Community Futures Tawatinaw Region, dozens of young business owners were
recognized for their creativity, dedication, and entrepreneurial spirit. In Thorhild and
Redwater, the “Best Tasting Lemonade” award went to Little Lemons, run by Brielle,
Aviel, and Jase Stiller. Lemony Snippets, created by Serenity Clark, Kyleigh Morgan,
and Temerance Clark, earned the title of “Best Lemonade Stand,” while Patiently
Poured, led by Patience Quiring, was named “Best Entrepreneur”.
In Legal and Gibbons, the “Best Tasting Lemonade” was served by Wai Lemi, run by
siblings Kadence, Arianna, Scarlett, and Ronan Charrios. D.E.P Lemonade Stand,
operated by Dallas Conway, Elizabeth McWhirter, and Paisley Moffat, took home “Best
Lemonade Stand,” and Sweet Sisters Lemonade, led by Cassidy, Alexis, and Brooklyn
Kerekes, earned recognition as “Best Entrepreneur.”
Morinville also showcased its local talent. Lemonade Lane by Inara Fisher was awarded
“Best Tasting Lemonade.” The “Best Lemonade Stand” honor went to Sunshine Citrus,
operated by Margaret Werbicki and Dasha Davidenko-Shavyrina. Raspberry and
Rose’s Lemonade, created by Avery Fedusenko and Zee-Anne Neto, received the
award for “Best Entrepreneur.”
Three other winners in the Athabasca and Boyle area and three more in the Westlock Region,
also showcased the creativity, determination, and strong sense of community that define
Lemonade Day. From well-crafted recipes and eye-catching stands to thoughtful business
plans, their efforts were a powerful reminder that even the simplest ideas — like a lemonade
stand — can inspire future success. Lemonade Day 2025 continues to celebrate the innovation
and spirit of Alberta’s youth, proving that great things can start with just one small idea.
