Nova Vita is grateful to have been chosen as one of the organizations to receive funding from Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) as part of their Women’s Economic and Leadership Opportunities Fund.
“Many women continue to face challenges that include balancing caregiving responsibilities, navigating pay inequities, and struggling to access leadership opportunities. These barriers disproportionately impact racialized and underrepresented communities. That is why this $100 million dollar investment to support 163 projects is creating mentorship opportunities, flexible work arrangements, and career pathways – which are all means to increase women’s economic participation. It is our government’s commitment to break through systemic barriers and reflect our belief that every woman deserves the chance to thrive and lead. When women have the opportunities they need to succeed; families and communities are stronger.” – The Honourable Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth
