MNP and The Scotiabank Women Initiative

Supporting Canada’s women-owned, women-led businesses.

At MNP, we believe value follows diversity and inclusion. We have seen first hand the tremendous impact divergent backgrounds and beliefs have in enhancing culture and fostering innovation. From our founding more than 60 years ago, our commitment to diversity and inclusion has spanned our entire firm and has been woven into our culture. Our collective differences are ultimately what make us stronger.

This is a journey that continues to evolve. What remains true throughout our evolution is our commitment to learning, growing and building meaningful relationships in the communities in which we live and work. This is why we are proud to introduce to you to The Scotiabank Women Initiative^TM- a comprehensive program that supports women-owned and women-led businesses through three key pillars Access to Capital, Mentorship and Education.

On August 19, 2020, MNP joined forces with The Scotiabank Women Initiative to offer financial education on accounting, financial statements, money management and more to women-led businesses in the Prairies. We look forward to supporting women-led businesses in their efforts to build successful businesses and support their communities.
