On Wednesday March 9, 2016, the Halton Region Small Business Centre, in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure, will host their annual business networking event for women entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The theme for this year’s event: Connect, Teach, Inspire, will offer a chance for local women entrepreneurs to connect with their peers, learn from each other and provide support and inspiration through shared experiences and stories of success. The event also celebrates International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day celebrates the social, political, economic and cultural achievements of women around the globe. Halton is committed to helping local entrepreneurs succeed through events like Connect, Teach, Inspire that celebrate achievement and provide networking opportunities to ensure that our economy continues to thrive now and in the future.
