A Group Looks To Close The Business Gender Gap In Sask.

The goal of a 12 person advisory committee of prominent entrepreneurs and business professionals is to figure out what the business climate is like in Saskatchewan for women and to advise on strategies and policies to close the gender gap. CEO of Women Entrepreneurs Saskatchewan, Prahba Mitchell, says men and women start businesses at the same rate, but women-owned businesses don’t scale up to the same extent. The committee is funded through a partnership between WESK and the provincial government.
