In a world that can often feel loud, overstimulating and fast-paced, Melanie Banfield, founder of Pickering’s Snooze Room, offers something increasingly rare: a place where people of all ages can slow down, self-regulate and take a breath.

“Being overstimulated daily is common,” Melanie explains. “However, when you walk into the Snooze Room, you automatically feel like, ‘Okay, I can relax here. I can shut my mind off here. I can just kind of be safe here.’”

When Dr. Wintta Ghebreiyesus was 10 years old, she watched the Space Shuttle Columbia break apart on re-entry and decided to become an engineer so that something like that would never happen again.

Today, as founder and CEO of Ajax-based Moon Trades Technologies, that drive to build safer, smarter systems hasn't changed—only the scale has. Through artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, Moon Trades Technologies is revolutionizing mining exploration, both on earth and in space, helping make the industry safer, more efficient and climate-conscious.
