Join the WE-CAN community of women entrepreneurs to celebrate and support businesses run by women with disabilities in the Kingston region.

About this event

We're excited to be hosting another Accessibility Cafe for Women Entrepreneurs, spotlighting three amazing women entrepreneurs who live with a disability in the greater Kingston region.

Disabilities come in all shapes and sizes. Some are visible, while others are non-visible or even episodic. Unfortunately, there still exist many barriers in the business world for women with disabilities.

That's why the WE-CAN Project is so honoured to recognize and celebrate business ventures being run by women entrepreneurs with disabilities in the greater Kingston region.

Join us to hear some of the stories of amazing women who have overcome unique challenges, and found ways to turn barriers into opportunities and success.

Spotlighted businesses will include Strength Through Speaking, Alucia Lingerie and CCS Inc.

The Virtual Cafe will facilitated by Heidi Penning, Equity Advisor for the Queen's Human Rights & Equity Office.

We hope you will take the time to listen, learn, share and support the women whose businesses will be showcased at this event. Together, WE CAN!

NOTE: A Zoom link to the session will be emailed to attendees 2 days prior to the event.

The WE-CAN Project is committed to providing universal access to all of our events. Please email kerry.ramsay@queensu.ca if you have accessibility requirements as soon as possible as advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility needs.
