On July 9, 2026, Business Woman Pro Canada proudly hosted Women Who Build at the beautiful EY Canada office in downtown Toronto.
More than a networking event, Women Who Build was created to bring together entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners, and aspiring founders who believe in the power of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and meaningful connections.
From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was filled with energy, curiosity, and genuine conversations. Professionals from diverse industries and cultural backgrounds came together with one shared purpose—to learn, connect, and grow.
Inspiring Speakers. Practical Knowledge.
Our stage featured an outstanding lineup of speakers who shared their professional experience, personal journeys, and practical insights on entrepreneurship, leadership, logistics, procurement, finance, and business growth.
We were honoured to welcome:
Iryna Kisil
Oksana Mirutenko
Claudia Harvey
Mendi Kabashi
Nancy Thompson
Luda Zakharchuk
Andrina Stan
Safo Musta, Office of the Procurement Ombudsman, Government of Canada
Smita Chakrabarti, BCU Financial
Each speaker brought a unique perspective, inspiring our audience with real experiences, valuable advice, and practical strategies for success.
More Than Networking
Some of the most meaningful moments happened between presentations.
Guests introduced themselves to new people, exchanged business cards, shared ideas, discussed future collaborations, and discovered opportunities they may never have found otherwise.
These conversations are exactly why Business Woman Pro Canada exists.
We believe that great opportunities often begin with a simple conversation.
Our mission is to create a community where people support one another, build meaningful relationships, and grow both personally and professionally.
Building Community Together
One of the things that makes Business Woman Pro Canada unique is the strength of our community.
Many of the services that helped make this event successful came from members of our own network.
A heartfelt thank you to Lidiia Bulaivska, who prepared an exceptional catering experience that received wonderful feedback from our guests.
We are also deeply grateful to LA Rosa for generously sponsoring the delicious desserts that made the evening even more memorable.
This perfectly reflects what our organization stands for—supporting one another's businesses and creating opportunities within our own community.
