We bridge the gap between Canadian women-owned businesses and larger corporate & government buyers.
About us
WBE Canada (Women Business Enterprises Canada Council) is a non-profit organization and certifying council for Canadian women-owned businesses. We certify Canadian businesses that are at least 51% owned, managed and controlled by women, introduce them to opportunities with our government and corporate members, and provide best practices resources and training on how to do business with large organizations. We also advocate for supplier diversity in Canada, and partner with governments, women’s business centers and other women-based communities across Canada. If you run a Canadian women-owned business, visit wbecanada.ca/get-certified now to learn how you can access larger corporate buyers in Canada and the US. If you’re a corporate or government buyer, learn how you can access our certified women-owned business suppliers and get support for your supplier diversity program at wbecanada.ca.

WBE Canada was honoured to attend Toyota North America's 34th Annual Opportunity Exchange! This event continues to showcase Toyota’s commitment to diverse suppliers, offering an inspiring space for businesses to explore the benefits of joining Toyota’s supply chain. This year, WBE Canada was proudly represented by our Bilingual Engagement Community Lead, Nancy MacDonald, and our Community Senior Lead, Kelsey Balkwill. It was great to engage with Toyota's initiatives and learn more about how they support diverse suppliers. One quote from Alex Banayan, the youngest bestselling business author in American history, says it all: “Perseverance is not knocking 100 times on one door but it’s knocking one time on 100 doors.” We also enjoyed hearing inspiring stories and insights from other speakers - Jennifer Hoffman, Matt Greene, Jim Holloway, Robert Young, and Michael Norman. The workshops, networking sessions, and tradeshow were incredible opportunities for Certified Diverse Suppliers to make valuable connections, discuss growth strategies, and explore new business connections! A huge thank you to Toyota North America for inviting us! We can’t wait to see the impact of the relationships and opportunities formed at this event. Let’s Move, Build, & Lead…TOGETHER! 🚗🌐 #ToyotaOpportunityExchange #SupplierDiversity #WBECanada #MBE #WBE #BusinessGrowth #MoveBuildLead
