A special IWD message from Silvia Pencak

Small Business Canada

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, #BreaktheBias shines a light on what WBE Canada has been working towards since 2009 – creating equitable opportunities for women business enterprises. During the pandemic, businesswomen showed us that they are resilient, innovative, resourceful and determined in their road to success. While WBE Canada celebrates the growing number of large corporations and governments focusing on diversity and inclusion in their supply chains, with the same breath I must say that more organizations need to commit to ending the long standing culture that has shut women, entrepreneurs, out. There is still a lot of work to be done to level the playing field for women-owned businesses, and WBE Canada will continue to push for more diverse spending in corporate and government supply chains, especially now as we look at the economic recovery in Canada.”
