PARO gets rural economic funding - Tb News Source - 11/10/2006
The provincial government announced a move Friday to help women in rural Northwestern Ontario improve their economic independence.
Over $230,000 will flow through the PARO Center for Women's Enterprise and Thunder Bay Ventures improving access to resources for the region's female entrepreneurs. PARO will now be able to begin travelling the region, offering on-line and teleconference classes to their clients.
The funding for the investment comes from the Rural Economic Development Program. It's hoped that this new program will encourage new business to begin and existing businesses to prosper.
