| Worried about March Break? |
Mar 11, 2010 @ 10:29 AM |
Although students get a break in March CA-SBC doesn't stop!
CA-SBC DOES NOT suspend the competition during March Break. This means that students must make sure they have inputs submitted prior to deadlines by using future inputs, or by entering inputs from home!
Students should ensure that ‘future inputs’ for the Tuesday and Friday of March Break are submitted on the Friday prior to their leaving on break.
If students forget to submit future inputs they can access CA-SBC from any computer with the internet and may make submissions (prior to the deadline) during their respective break weeks!

| SBC Returns! |
Dec 02, 2009 @ 05:25 PM |
The Story of the Return of SBC!!!
Under several hats over the years, HSBC, SBC, and now CA - SBC, the Sprott School of Business has offered a business simulation competition as a free teaching resource for high schools. Sprott has been a proud developer and coordinator of the competition, and has valued the opportunity to introduce important business concepts to high school students through interaction and simulation. Unfortunately, due to a lack of financial resources, Sprott was unable to provide this competition last year.
However... ...
With IMMENSE thanks to our new sponsor, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (CA), SBC is BACK! The competition will take place in the new year between January and April. Please stay tuned to the CA - SBC website for news and updates as they become available. We hope you will join us in the new year for our celebrated return as the CA - Sprott Business Competition!
Cheers,
