We certify Canadian businesses that are at least 51% owned, managed and controlled by women, introduce them to opportunities with our government and corporate members, and provide best practices resources and training on how to do business with large organizations. We also advocate for supplier diversity in Canada, and partner with governments, women’s business centers and other women-based communities across Canada. If you run a Canadian women-owned business, visit wbecanada.ca/get-certified now to learn how you can access larger corporate buyers in Canada and the US.
