New Women Entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan to Receive Government Funding

The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan have announced a joint funding initiative aimed at supporting newcomer women entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan. A total of $255,000 will be allocated to Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan Inc. (WESK) for its newcomer training support program. This program is designed to assist 25 newcomer women in starting or expanding their businesses.

Ana Liza Carlos, a WESK member and owner of Little Patch of Heaven Daycare, shared her experience with the organization. Originally from the Philippines, Carlos faced challenges in adapting to life in Canada, including language barriers and harsh weather conditions. However, she credits WESK with providing the tools, templates, and confidence necessary to run a successful business. “The support from my advisor and the resources I received were invaluable,” Carlos remarked.

Frances Meyer, Program Coordinator at the Women’s Business Hub, emphasized the significant impact this funding could have on immigrant women in Saskatchewan. “Support for immigrant women in business is crucial. Guidance, mentorship, and access to financing are vital for those starting from scratch in Canada,” Meyer stated. The Women’s Business Hub, part of the Saskatoon Open Door Society, plays a key role in helping women settle and integrate into the community.

Federal Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Youth, Marci Ien, highlighted the unique challenges faced by newcomer women, such as language barriers and discrimination. “By supporting female entrepreneurs, we are fostering a more inclusive society,” Ien said. Saskatchewan’s Minister Responsible for the Status of Women Office, Laura Ross, also noted the importance of increasing female participation in the labor force as part of the government’s broader economic strategy.

Miriam Johnson, CEO of WESK, expressed her commitment to creating an inclusive business environment in the province. “This investment enables us to equip newcomer women with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in Saskatchewan,” Johnson concluded.
