Minister Valdez announces 12 more recipients of Canada's first-ever 2SLGBTQI+ Entrepreneurship Program
Summary
This program helps raise awareness of the unique challenges these entrepreneurs face and facilitates the development of a robust and interconnected ecosystem that will empower future generations of 2SLGBTQI+ leaders. By providing all Canadians with the opportunity to pursue entrepreneurship, we are strengthening Canadas economy, creating high-quality, middle-class jobs and ensuring that our country remains competitive on the global stage. With this $2.8 million investment, 12 non-profit organizations serving 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs, including the Chambre de commerce LGBT du Qu\xe9bec, can continue building a more inclusive and prosperous Canadian economy, here in LaurierSainte-Marie and across the country. The Ecosystem Fund helps not-for-profit business-support organizations support 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs in developing business-planning skills and accessing entrepreneurial tools and learning resources. The WES Ecosystem Fund is helping remove barriers to the support networks and deliver the resources that women entrepreneurs need to start up, scale up and access new markets.
