Through this partnership, they help build a more inclusive business environment by supporting queer-owned businesses, increasing visibility, and opening doors to networking, mentorship, and supplier diversity. Beyond their membership, Helcim actively participates in local initiatives, like those in Calgary that celebrate and elevate small businesses, including queer-owned and ally organizations, by providing the tools they need to grow and by showing up as a trusted partner in the community.

More Ways Helcim Makes a Difference for Queer Communities
