L'Union culturelle des Franco-Ontariennes

Published purpose

Through this 32-month systemic change project, L’Union culturelle des Franco-Ontariennes will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers experienced by francophone women within Ontario's agricultural sector. This will be done by conducting consultations on their experiences and the barriers they face; by creating a digital platform and mentoring system to promote Francophone women's leadership and decision-making power; and by training lenders in the region in GBA+ to reduce barriers to obtaining financing for Francophone women. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
