Disabilities come in all shapes and sizes. Some are visible, while others are hidden. But either way, they can create barriers to entry in the business world.

That’s why the WE-CAN Project is thrilled to host a 90-minute virtual session to recognize and celebrate business ventures being run by women entrepreneurs with a disability 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 physical, mental and emotional barriers into opportunities.

We hope you will take the time to listen, 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 [email protected] if you have accessibility requirements as soon as possible as advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility needs.
