The Scotiabank Women Initiative’s® goal is to provide equitable access to financial and professional growth opportunities, enabling women to succeed on their own terms.
Launched in Canada on this day five years ago for women-owned and -led businesses, the initiative has since impacted tens of thousands of women by providing financial solutions, specialized education, and inclusive, women-centric advisory services.
Take a look through some of the initiative's achievements:
