MakeWay
EntrepreNorth’s mission is to empower northern community-based and Indigenous entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses and livelihoods across Northern Canada through a 6-month, cohort-based support program. EntrepreNorth supports entrepreneurs in the post-launch, early stage phase who are working to overcome barriers to business growth. Program participants come from all three territories—Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut—and are primarily from remote communities outside of the capital cities. The program’s vision is to support Indigenous-focused businesses that strengthen Northern ways of life. MakeWay is a project on Tides Canada’s Shared Platform.
