Champion Life Center
Champion Life Center is a church that I have been attending ever since I was a little girl. The church has branches in many different cities, such as: Brampton, Toronto, London, Cambridge, and many other cities. We even have branches in the Philippines.

From growing up in this church I have learned how important it is to help out in a community, which is why I always participate in all the events.

Marketing Club
The Marketing Club is a club the Business and Enhancement Club founder due to the need for certain projects to have detailed plans in order to complete the projects.

The Cafeteria needed some design improvements, as well as changing the menu up to better satisfy the students. This project required gathered data from our students through surveys and interviews.
