In the fall of 2004, several businesswomen in
the R.M. of Vanscoy sensed a need in the community for a Women’s
Business Group. Recognizing the abundance of businesses run by
women entrepreneurs in their communities, and the abounding talents
therein, Women In Business, Delisle & District Inc. was created
and incorporated in November 2005. It has become an avenue for
women who operate their own businesses to share and promote their
talents, products and services. The group’s
mission is to network with each other and to learn
from and support each other by becoming champions
for each other’s businesses. This is accomplished by members
utilizing businesses within the group and by
members referring the products and services to others.
The group also works directly within the communities by doing
trade shows and sponsoring various other social and retail events,
striving to give the members optimum visibility.
The goal of this spirited group of women is to ignite the economic
growth of their communities and to be an integral part of the
future development of rural Saskatchewan. Members meet year round
on a monthly basis.
