Women’s Entrepreneurship

FGA’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Workshop Program was created to empower Franco-Ontarian women entrepreneurs looking to grow or expand their businesses.

Since 2021, these free workshops, held during the first quarter of each year, have been designed to help women entrepreneurs develop their skills and scale their businesses.

Led by inspiring and successful women entrepreneurs, this program is made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Ontario and the Prescott-Russell Community Development Corporation.
