Official Saskatchewan Women-Owned Businesses Supporter

Show your commitment to advancing women entrepreneurship by proudly displaying the “Supporter of Women-Owned Businesses – Saskatchewan” badge. It’s an easy way for businesses that aren’t majority women-owned to proudly show their support for women entrepreneurs in our province.

How it works

Apply to be recognized as an official “Supporter of Women-Owned Businesses – Saskatchewan.” After reviewing your application, a WESK representative will contact you to discuss the next steps. Once approved, you’ll have access to the brand identity kit that includes the digital badge in various sizes, a customizable image for social media with instructions, and a media kit with suggested copy to use with the image. Use the branding in your email signatures, on your website and social media channels, and in physical business locations to show your support for women-owned businesses in our province. 

Benefits

Once you’re approved to receive the brand identity, you’ll receive access to the Saskatchewan Woman-Owned Business Database. Easily find women-owned businesses so you can direct spending and partnerships to these entrepreneurs, identify collaboration opportunities, and promote gender equity and local economic growth.

Background

In May 2019, the Government of Saskatchewan established the WESK-led Saskatchewan Advisory Committee on the Gender Entrepreneurship Gap. One recommendation from the 2020 Enabling Scale in Saskatchewan final report was to launch a brand identity to celebrate and showcase women-owned businesses in the province.
