UrsaTV in the Community
UrsaTV...
A veteran's entrepreneurial dream.
UrsaTV is the dream of Bruno “BrewKnow” Perron who started this entrepreneurial journey after attending a program for veterans at the University of Regina Hill School of Business during the summer of 2023.
The boot camp, part of the Prince’s Trust Canada’s Operation Entrepreneur program, provides veterans and transitioning members of the Canadian Armed Forces with a crash course in business essentials including; marketing, finance, staffing, accounting and other need-to-know business practices. Its goal is to help military members launch their second careers as entrepreneurs while creating positive economic and social impact in their communities.
Bruno was selected by his peers to address His Honour The Honourable Russ Mirasty, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan during the program’s graduation dinner. He spoke about the challenges of identity as a newly retired veteran.
UrsaTV partners with the Pink Poppy Parlor
A natural collaborative partnership emerged from Prince’s Trust Canada’s Operation Entrepreneur Bootcamp during the Summer of 2023 through UrsaTV‘s Bruno “BrewKnow” Perron and the Pink Poppy Parlor‘s Bridget “Weidgy” Cucksey.
Weidgy, a Starcraft II and Hearthstone gamer, created the UrsaTV logo, having lasting influence on the Ursa spirit.
UrsaTV obtained artwork, online UX design services and training from the Pink Poppy Parlor. We highly recommend Weidgy’s Builder Package.

- “Lyman Beatty, a 28-year-old real-estate agent and a born-and-raised Ottawan, laments the dearth of appealing “third places,” or spots where people enjoy spending time between home and work. That is why, he said, government employees tend to rush home instead of sticking around downtown.”
