"We are proud to recognize the many outstanding Saskatchewan women creating and operating businesses; they are driving our economic growth and supporting families and communities right across our province," Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "Our government remains committed to supporting women entrepreneurs and the business community as we emerge from the pandemic together and through the economic recovery in the months ahead."
As part of the economic recovery plan, the province has implemented various business support programs to provide immediate and ongoing assistance to those businesses who have had to fully or partially close during the global pandemic. These programs include the Re-Open Saskatchewan Training Subsidy, the Saskatchewan Small Business Emergency Payment and the Saskatchewan Tourism Sector Support Program.
