Canadian Veteran and Arnprior entrepreneur, Kristin Topping, has received a Prince’s Trust Global Award for exemplary resilience and her hard work and dedication to overcoming barriers.
The award was presented March 11th during the 2021 Virtual Prince’s Trust Awards.
Kristin was introduced to the Prince’s Trust Canada’s Operation Entrepreneur program following a head injury that resulted in her release from the military.
The program provided Kristin with the skills, resources, and mentorship to help her start a successful e-commerce business.
She is the owner of Sweetlife Flora, a small business that specializes in selling rare tropical plants.
The Prince’s Trust Awards are an annual event founded by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, that were held virtually this year, but typically take place in the United Kingdom (U.K.).
Topping is one of only two global award winners for 2021.
