From advancing diversity and inclusion to structuring capital for your organization to managing your investments, The Scotiabank Women Initiative® is a signature program designed to break down barriers and help women pursue their best professional and financial futures. Our program helps advance women-led businesses through three key pillars: access to capital and tailored solutions, specialized education, and mentorship and advice.
To date, the program has deployed more than $6BN in capital to women-led businesses across Canada and has engaged more than 14,000 women with mentorship and networking opportunities. We continue to keep our program participants informed with resources and expert advice through events co-hosted with valuable partners who know your business. Through The Scotiabank Women Initiative, you can also tap into exclusive offers that will help you drive your businesses forward. In 2022, we launch The Scotiabank Women Initiative Mentor Program, where mentors provide coaching and business advice to mentees at every stage of business growth.
We invite all women and non-binary people to enroll in our program, access tools, resources, and events that aim to break down barriers.

Nwando is a professional fashion designer that is on a mission in changing the trends in the fashion world with her innovative designs, working with the African Ankara fabrics, infused with Western Designs.
She holds a Masters degree in Geosciences from University of Alberta. She started her fashion career under the tutelage of her Mom, who has inspired her to express herself through her many designs in dressmaking, a talent that was discovered at an early age of 8 years old. Throughout her over 20-year journey in the industry, she has received numerous compliments for her innovation, creativity and unique designs.
Nwando is a wife and a mother. She and her husband are based in Edmonton, Alberta. They are blessed with two amazing kids, who are always eager to pose for the camera and so are her first models. Her love for dressing up her kids affordably and stylishly and her passion to see kids dressed up beautifully has given birth to Kiddies Vibe, an opportunity for her to extend her design pieces to the world beyond her family and friends.
In her passion for arts and design, Nwando spends her leisure time expressing her love for art and designs on projects promoting Kiddies Vides. Kiddies Vibe have recently featured on a number of events locally including Asake an African Fashion Show, K-Days Maker's Fair, Heritage Festival, Alberta Day, Black Canadian Women (BCW) in Action Expo, Scotia Women Initiative (SWI) Expo and NCAE Nigerian Independence Gala night.
At Kiddies Vibe, we transform fabrics and more into beautiful artistic creations that turn heads around for a second look at you.

Our family specialty outfits which are focused on spreading the love that binds families together: mummy & daughter, daddy & son outfits, and siblings matching outfits all of which can be ready to wear, made to order or customized to client's preferences ...we love to see those smiles come through.
We help you complete your perfect look with our beautiful Ankara accessories, ranging from head gears, ties, suspenders, bags, and lots more. We equally make birthday props & decoration items created with a touch of the African Ankara fabrics.
