Status of Women Canada

Program Purpose:

This 36-month project will work with civil society and government support programs for entrepreneurs to better address institutional barriers facing part-time women entrepreneurs. This project will examine the situation of women who are part-time entrepreneurs in urban, semi-rural and rural settings to compare the challenges they face. The project will bring together key partners at the municipal, provincial and federal levels to adapt existing support programs and tools to respond more effectively to the needs of these women. The project will include a pilot in Shawinigan to test a full range of support services for part-time women entrepreneurs. Lessons learned from this pilot will then enable the improvement and upgrading of partners’ programs and services.
