EcoEquitable is a leading social enterprise in pre-employment training in the textile industry. Our mission is to provide a bridge to social and economic integration for people in need, especially immigrant women, while greening our community.Since September 2001, women from every country have seized the opportunity to join together and believe again in a future full of hope. Since then, EcoEquitable and immigrant women have built a new world, an inclusive world, a place of cooperation where each person learns, is healed, celebrates and produces according to their creativity, their engagement and their motivation.EcoEquitable has developed several business lines to financially support the charitable work that we do. EcoEquitable provides contract sewing services for small designers and businesses. We sew conference bags and promotional materials. We also help designers develop their vision and translate it into full collections. We also offer intermediate and advanced sewing workshops to the public.Over the last five years, we have built our production capacity and are proud to be on-shoring and in-sourcing sewing manufacturing. The women in our production team are dedicated to producing durable and ethically made goods. (You can see our catalogue here; https://ecoequitable.ca/pages/catalogue) Production at EcoEquitable supports:- Local manufacturing and the creation of local jobs- Female-led households- Low carbon production through reused/recycled materials.In May 2018, EcoEquitable was honoured to be recognized by the United Way's Community Builder of the Year Award: Poverty to Possibility. We could not possibly offer the quality or quantity of programming that we do without amazing staff, volunteers, board of directors, students, alumni, supporters, and donors.
