New provincial funding looks to boost opportunities for women
EDMONTON – The Ministry of Status of Women is supporting 32 projects in the hopes of helping immigrant entrepreneurs, empower Indigenous communities and make life better for women in Alberta.
The province is providing $850,000 to non-profit organizations to kick-start or expand innovative projects that empower women in leadership roles, increase economic security for their families and prevent gender-based violence.
Danielle Larivee, Minister of Status of Women, says when women succeed, Alberta succeeds.
“Through partnerships with frontline organizations, we’re helping to mentor budding entrepreneurs, giving new Canadian families a leg up and making Alberta safer for women and girls,” Larivee added.
