Meet OUR Canadian Tour Title PARTNER, PARO Centre for Women’s Enterprise Canada
Together, we’re making an impact through research.
The Self-Made Breakfast Tour, presented by PARO Centre for Women’s Enterprise Canada, is on a mission to meet founders where they are and super-connect them to the community supports and resources they need in a way that's never been done. By capturing the voices of women in business through roundtable discussions, called Collaboration Innovation Tables (CITs) - we learn where they are today, where they dream of going, and what’s holding them back - drive bold, lasting systemic change.
By meeting women where they are and giving them a platform to share their challenges and experiences, the Tour ensures every founder has a seat at the table.

The Self-Made

it’s a movement.
For 30 years, PARO Centre for Women’s Enterprise Canada has been a driving force in empowering women entrepreneurs through funding, mentorship, and community support - helping thousands break barriers, access millions in funding, and achieve financial independence, all while catalyzing long-lasting systemic change.
Their impact extends beyond Ontario, collaborating with organizations across Canada to ensure women entrepreneurs have the tools, resources, and networks to succeed. At PARO, we believe that when women succeed in business, entire communities thrive.

that’s redefining women’s entrepreneurship.
Amplifying
women’s
voices.
By recognizing Canada’s regional differences and cultural diversity, this initiative ensures that every woman’s perspective is heard. Through this Tour, PARO is fuelling and supporting a nationwide movement - one that nurtures collaboration, builds confidence and ensures that women-led businesses don't just survive, but thrive.
Through CIT roundtable discussions at every stop of the Tour, PARO is strengthening its commitment to driving lasting change by capturing the diverse voices of women entrepreneurs to inform and help shape more inclusive policies, practices and protocols at all levels of government and culture.
THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN
FUNDED IN PART BY:
Accelerating action and creating meaningful
change.
At PARO, we understand that financial success alone isn't enough. True empowerment comes from knowing how to manage and grow wealth, and ensure stability for the future through fostering systemic change. By integrating these principles into the Self-Made Breakfast Tour, we are not just helping women get ahead - we are shaping a future where they have the resources, knowledge, and community to create lasting, meaningful success.
