Women make up 37.8% of all self-employed Canadians, and 92.7% of women owned businesses are micro firms with less than 20 employees.  

Every day Grande Prairie women create economic opportunities for our community and make Grande Prairie a great place to do business. 

To celebrate International Women’s Day and recognize the many contributions women make in our community, we connected with three women business owners to share their experiences and perspectives of doing business in Grande Prairie.  In the video you will hear from Rana from PureLife Cleaning and Maintenance, Celest at Shade Tree Chocolate Studio and Melissa from Petals + Posies Flower Co.  

The Invest Grande Prairie team wants to thank all the women who contribute to making Grande Prairie the place to start and grow a business.
