WOWSA

Connecting Professional Women in Wellington and Saugeen Area

The Women of Wellington Saugeen Area began in September 2009 when women in the Town of Minto and Township of Wellington North came together to form a network that sought to support women in business. Since then, the group expanded to include the Township of Mapleton, Town of Hanover, Municipality of West Grey, Municipality of Brockton, Municipality of Arran-Elderslie and the Municipality of South Bruce. During the Pandemic, like many of you, we took the opportunity to look at our network and how best to support women in business moving forward.

In 2022 WOWSA became a program of Saugeen Connects. The mission of Saugeen Connects is to collaborate and positively impact area economic growth, support youth retention and development, support growth and retention of businesses; and integrate efforts to leverage immigrant attraction to the area as residents, workers, entrepreneurs, business owners, operators, and investors. One of the key pillars of Saugeen Connects is Women and we all agree that this is a great decision for both WOWSA and Saugeen Connects.
