As developments related to industries such as mining, forestry, construction, and power grow larger in the north, PARO Centre for Women Enterprises is supporting Indigenous women-owned businesses with the tools and resources needed to scale up their business within these industries.
“So many opportunities are popping up in these sectors in Northern Ontario and we want to get Indigenous women owned businesses into the position where they can take advantage of these opportunities; to get their piece of the pie, as it were,” says Melissa Cook, program manager for PARO.
