Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.


Who We Are

The Women Entrepreneurship Centre (WEC), as part of the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, is dedicated to empowering women and non-binary entrepreneurs of every age, stage and culture to achieve their business dreams. We believe in fostering leadership. We believe that everyone deserves an equal shot at success. We believe in connecting you with the right people, skills and support to make it happen.

What We Do

The WEC supports women and non-binary entrepreneurs who are looking to start their business and supports women entrepreneurs who are looking to grow their business. Our programs include:

  • 1:1 Business Consultations, as needed.
  • Indigenous Women Entrepreneur Program: A 7-week program for women who are developing a business idea aligned with Indigenous culture and values.
  • Start My Business: A two-part 14-week program for new entrepreneurs who want to learn how to start and run a business.
  • Grow My Business: A three-part 21-week program for established entrepreneurs who want to grow their business.
  • "Soar" Networking Events: Pop-up meetups of small groups of women who regularly meet to learn new skills, network and encourage each other, such as Lean In Circles and monthly webinars.
