The system needs to change.

Image

You started your business to build something important. Something fantastic. Something that’s yours.

Or maybe you became self-employed because you had to. You were laid off or couldn't find work. Unpaid carework made 9-5 an impossibility. 

Either way, the roadblocks and setbacks are exhausting. It’s lonely. And where is all this funding you keep hearing about?

Many of the challenges you face are systemic problems. Preventing you from soaring to the heights you deserve.

It shouldn’t be this way.

What is a Women’s Chamber of Commerce?

Image

We’re the first - and only - chamber of commerce for self-employed women and gender-diverse people in Canada.

A chamber of commerce may sound stuffy, but CanWCC is a breath of fresh air. Why? Because we listen to you.

As a chamber of commerce, we represent your voice when we speak to government. Our name and position gives us access to people who make decisions and impact policy change - you won’t find that anywhere else.

Is CanWCC for you?

You’re in the right place if you:

  • Manage a not-for-profit, co-op, or other community organization
  • Support gender and economic equity

We welcome support from people of all genders and provide different ways to get involved and make an impact.

We have a great membership package for women and gender-diverse people who are self-employed, co-op, and not-for-profit leaders.

"The Canadian Women's Chamber of Commerce aligns perfectly with my core beliefs. I strongly value equity, inclusion, respect, and dignity for eveyrone, regardless of gender, age, or background. The chamber's advocacy work for women and minority business owners is essential in creating a fair and supportive business environment."
