Canada treats roads, pipelines, ports, and power systems as nation-building infrastructure — but ignores the systems that allow people to go to work in the first place.

Childcare, elder care, home care, mental health supports, disability services, and caregiving supports are economic infrastructure. Without them, Canada’s workforce, productivity, and economic growth are at risk.

The Canadian Women’s Chamber of Commerce calls on the federal government to formally designate a Canadian National Care Economy Strategy as a nation-building project under Canada’s Major Projects Office framework, the same federal mechanism used to fast-track major physical infrastructure projects.

🎉 Big News for Canadian Entrepreneurs!

We’re so proud to launch the CanWCC Health Benefits Plan, created in partnership with Ken Doody and @emanuela_messina_official.

This affordable, accessible health benefits solution was designed to help self-employed business owners and entrepreneurs — especially those operating as solopreneurs or in early stages — get the support they deserve.

While CanWCC’s core mission is to support women-identifying and non-binary entrepreneurs, we know these challenges are universal. That’s why this plan is open to ALL entrepreneurs who want to take advantage of it!
💬 “Health benefits should not be a barrier to success,” says Nancy Wilson, Founder & CEO of CanWCC.
