Update and Resources

Update & Resources

As we face unprecedented times with the  spread of COVID-19 affecting all aspects of our lives, and things changing so quickly, we wanted to provide a list of resources to help small businesses and owners in Canada.

The IWSCC is continuing our important work during this time however, all events have been postponed and we have implemented audio and video conferencing wherever possible. (see website for regular updates).  We will be working   to achieve networking connections virtually and will update you as we move forward.

There are resources available for our community which are listed below.  If you are aware of additional resources, please let us know so that we can add to the list.

We wish you health and happiness from IWSCC.  Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
