From launching dream businesses to creating communities and finding new ways to do business during a pandemic, women entrepreneurs have so much to be proud of!

Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is celebrated in 144 countries around the world, and we invite you to join WeBC (formerly Women’s Enterprise Centre) and The Forum on November 19 to mark the day for BC women entrepreneurs.

We are extremely excited to share the news that for the first time ever, November 19th will officially be proclaimed as Women's Entrepreneurship Day in British Columbia!

Together, we’ll toast to their milestones and inspire our community to keep pushing forward with stories of women from around BC!

We’re excited to welcome special guests for an interactive panel discussion focusing on the future and equipping you with bite-sized learning to turn obstacles into open doors.

Everyone is welcome to join this festive day.
