Northern Ontario Women’s Program

Welcome to the NOW program! Proudly assisted by FedNor, our goal is to foster the growth and success of women-owned and women-led businesses across Northern Ontario. Whether you are a startup founder looking to launch your business or an established entrepreneur looking to grow, the NOW program is here to help you achieve your goals.

Since March 8, 2024 (International Women’s Day!!), the NOW program has implemented multiple funding initiatives. Our SME initiative allows women entrepreneurs in Northern Ontario to apply for funding to help cover the cost of one-time professional services, the cost of establishing mentoring/coaching relationships and the cost of deepening their business knowledge through training courses. The Citation Canada HR Subscription initiative allows women entrepreneurs in Northern Ontario to request a subscription that will help them and their business meet all of their human resources needs.
