Navigating Trade Tariffs

Running a business means constantly adapting to change, and global trade policies can have a significant ripple effect on Canadian entrepreneurs. With new U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports and Canada’s response imposing tariffs on $155 billion worth of U.S. goods, many business owners are facing rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and uncertainty about the future. Women entrepreneurs are especially impacted, with top concerns including rising operational costs and supply chain challenges. We recognize these challenges and are committed to providing insights, resources, and support to help women entrepreneurs navigate this shifting landscape.
