An official event of the Women Entrepreneurship Conference; a free, month-long event series, presented by the Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (WEKH) in partnership with Women Enterprise Organizations of Canada (WEOC).

In this session, we’ll discuss how the ecosystem is responding to support women entrepreneurs during this time. Register
