Lean In Canada Initiatives

Our vision at Lean In Canada is to create a nation in which women can access equal opportunities in their careers and their lives. We believe that our nation’s society and economy will be better if women and girls were valued as equals to men and boys. We also know that women feel more confident and empowered to drive towards this change when they feel connected to a community, thus we aim to create and support initiatives that connect professional women. From the Events we host across the country to our Circles, there are lots of ways to get involved.
