About Us

The Women's Business Network of Peterborough is a networking channel for women who wish to enhance and expand their business contacts and grow their businesses.

Formed in 1961 as the Peterborough Chapter of the Canadian Advertising and Sales Association, the network has evolved into a dynamic and growing membership of women with diverse backgrounds and careers who meet to share their knowledge and experience and promote their businesses.
Network members are entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, administrators, writers, media representatives, computer specialists and health care providers to name a few.

From September to June a diverse program of learning, sharing, and socializing is provided for members. Guest speakers, trade shows, special events, and gala socials make the Women's Business Network of Peterborough the premier network for women in the Kawarthas and surrounding areas.
