Shad Valley (colloquially known as Shad) is a Canadian summer enrichment program for high-achieving high school students that runs every year, primarily in July. The program is open to both Canadian and international students, and runs in twelve participating university campuses across Canada, where the students live in residence. It is focused on business, science, mathematics, and engineering. The Shad Valley program was founded by Dr. Derek Lane-Smith, a teacher, physicist, and entrepreneur. The first summer program ran at St. Andrew’s College in Aurora, Ontario in July, 1981, and has since expanded to twelve university campuses across Canada. The Shad Valley program is run by Shad Valley International (formerly known as the Shad Valley Centre for Creative Technology), a non-profit organization based in Waterloo, Ontario. Shad Valley International also ran the Pesk’a Aboriginal Shad Valley Program, which ended in the summer of 2009. Barry Bisson is the current president of Shad Valley International. There is a rigorous application process, which goes in depth into both the students' academics and extra-curriculars. In 2015, over 1,300 students applied. With only about 50 spots available per campus, 600+ students were accepted. There are currently more than 14,000 SHAD alumni including 27 Rhodes Scholars, Top 40 under 40 and Top 20 under 20 award recipients, and many other accomplished professionals, all sharing the transformational SHAD experience and able to leverage their SHAD network for life. ==The SHAD Program and SHAD Entrepreneurship Cup== The 2013 theme was: "How Might We Improve the Safety and Efficiency of Year Round, Human Powered Transportation".
