The Inspiration

For Gavin, this business is more than just a summer job — it’s a step toward building a strong financial future. He launched Gavin’s Lawn Care to save money and gain real-world experience, all while helping his community stay green and tidy.

The BACD & Summer Company Experience

Through the Summer Company program, funded by the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade (MEDJCT), Gavin received a grant and mentorship to help him get started. With support from BACD and his advisor Antoinette, he learned how to run a business, connect with clients, and invest in better equipment.

“The mentor sessions helped me understand how to run my business and connect with other business owners.”

Business Growth

Despite a tough summer with little rain, Gavin has stayed committed to growing his client base. He’s been marketing through local social media pages and flyers, and is already thinking ahead to fall — where he may bring on help for leaf clean-up season.

Advice for New Entrepreneurs

“Do your research on services or products that are needed.”

Gavin’s story is a great reminder that entrepreneurship starts with initiative, and grows with support, strategy, and a whole lot of hustle.
