Aug 26, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 20-month systemic change project, Women Entrepreneurs of SK Inc (WESK) will scale their SK Women Entrepreneurship Charter Project to advance women’s economic security. It will scale to grow charter signatories across the province with a focus on crown corporations, municipalities and post-secondary institutions and large private corporations. It will address women’s economic security and prosperity by working to create equitable procurement by eliminating barriers, shifting perceptions, and establishing diversity targets. To do so, the project will develop resources and supports for charter signatories to utilize to champion systemic change, facilitate an environment that brings together suppliers and buyers to build connections and relationships and work to promote the project on a larger scale and across industries. WESK will evaluate the success of the project through yearly bench marking surveys to participants and compile data yearly to determine progress is being made.
