Through CookStart Windsor helped 37 participants launch 16 new food businesses, generating over $300,000 in revenues and diverting 400 pounds of produce from landfills every month. Thirty-one of these participants were women to whom the team provided support and mentorship through their entrepreneurial journey.

“Empowering a woman, empowers her entire family as well as her community,” says Nicole Almond, Enactus Canada President. “We are proud to recognize the Enactus Windsor team who dramatically changed the lives of 31 women and their families.”

The “Walmart Women’s Economic Empowerment Project Partnership Best Project” and the 2016 “Tim Hortons Making a True Difference Project Partnership Best Project” were awarded at the 2016 “Enactus Canada National Exposition,” where more than 1,500 delegates including the country’s brightest university and college students, academic professionals and top Canadian CEOs came together to transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world.
