70% of workers in Canada who earn less than $25,000 per year do not have permanent paid sick days - and many are women. The BWA is challenging businesses to rethink their approach to paid sick days to reduce the wealth gap between men and women. We're here to show you how!

I'll be on this panel along with some like-minded employers. Fellow biz owners, managers, and leaders - join us!

Have you registered for our BWA/B-Corp event tomorrow at 10am PST/1PM EST? Every BWA Member joining has a chance to win Cake and Loaf Bakery's new cookbook. Register below to discover how you and your business can make a real-world political impact. loom.ly/md7LhXw
