At WeBC, we’ve seen firsthand how resilient women entrepreneurs are—but resilience alone isn’t enough. You deserve real support, clear information, and strong advocacy to ensure your business can weather changes.

As the situation continues to evolve surrounding tariffs, we know that our women entrepreneurs in BC will be hit hard. Rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and uncertainty are real challenges in an already difficult business environment.

Now is the time to prepare yourself and your business. Here’s what WeBC is doing in the coming days and weeks:

• Gathering & Sharing Resources – We’re working with our partners, experts, and advisors to provide up-to-date information, financial tools, and expert insights to help you adapt.
