Stacy’s Pita Chips continues its longstanding commitment of championing women-owned businesses with the announcement of its inaugural Canadian Stacy’s Rise Project Class, a grant and mentoring program for women entrepreneurs. For the first time, the Stacy’s Rise Project opened its applications to women founders based in Canada, expanding the impact of the program beyond the U.S. with the help of a new Canadian partner, Women’s Enterprise Organizations of Canada (WEOC).
We are thrilled to help announce the first Canadian Stacy's Rise Project Class:
Carolyn Simon (Toronto, ON),
founder of Choose Life Foods
Elaine Tan Comeau (Coquitlam, BC),
founder of Easy Daysies Ltd.
Jolene Johnson (Tobique First Nation, NB), founder of Wabanaki Maple
Kristyn Carriere (Edmonton, AB),
founder of 7 Summits Snacks
With the support of WEOC, the grant recipients were selected from applications received from across the country. Each founder will receive a $15,000 CAD grant, and gain access to a once-in-a-lifetime mentorship opportunity with PepsiCo Foods Canada and Frito-Lay leadership.
