Womens Equity Lab’s (WEL) is a fun, collaborative and empowering way for women to actively engage in early-stage investing. Launched in 2017, we now make up a diverse and powerful network of 400+ women investors, with syndicates located in Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Manitoba, the Atlantic and Silicon Valley. Actively engaging women in the angel investment process translates into more women as advisors, board members, venture capitalists, angel investors and angel fund managers. In the WEL model, partners in the investment round meet regularly to learn how to invest in companies, discuss opportunities, vet deal flow and make investment decisions. Every participant ends up with a deeper understanding of the angel investment process, a portfolio of early-stage companies and a great network of accomplished women. Other benefits include: • Engaging with incredible entrepreneurs and investors • Building value for the community and society • Supporting companies that resonate with you and helping them grow • Participating in new fields, transforming industries and the latest innovations • Potentially making significant financial gains • Continuous learning while building value

Our work makes the world work. The work we do touches lives, it impacts our schools and neighbourhoods, it helps improve the daily life and mobility for all. The projects we deliver for our customers grow economies, improve the resiliency of Canada’s infrastructure, connects our communities to resources and opportunities, and tackle critical environmental challenges.

From excavating and demolition to foundations, paving, and the production of materials, we have the unique ability to complete an entire project without the need for subcontractors. Green is in our name because we believe in the necessity of sustainable solutions. We’re leaders in energy efficiency and we’re at the forefront of incorporating recycled and reused materials.   With our sights set on building a better tomorrow, we’re committed to long-term relationships and long-term thinking. We uphold the highest standards of safety and quality, ensuring every project provides the greatest benefits to our customers with the least disruption to our communities.

Welcome to Comtech Fire Credit Union. We are a full service financial institution that offers outstanding benefits to our members and their families. With over $530 million in overall assets and more than 16,000 members across Ontario, our organization has been growing strong for over 75 years. Unlike a bank, our members share in the ownership of our organization, which means they have a say in how we operate. After reserve requirements are met, profits are returned to the membership in the form of lower interest rates on loans and mortgages and higher rates of return on deposit investments. Our Credit Union is committed to providing you with financial advice and products in a personalized relationship driven environment. We are small enough to know our members by name and large enough to provide the financial resources comparable to larger financial institutions. Comtech Fire Credit Union was formed with the coming together of Comtech Credit Union, Fire Services Credit Union and Limestone Credit Union.
