There have been many ups and downs over the recent years with the pandemic. One of the upsides is that it has ignited a fierce, creative, and innovative spirit in many people as they’ve learned to adapt to these new times. Teachers on Call could do no less, helping families ensure their children continued to learn and thrive despite the disruptions. As a result, Teachers on Call’s very own Joanne Sallay was one of twenty North American entrepreneurs selected for the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women class of 2022.

EY’s program is designed to recognize these Canadian entrepreneurs who have been selected for their exceptional business acumen, unflinching determination and innovation in designing solutions. The program gives its participants access to resources, rich networks and know-how, and creates a vibrant global community of successful women entrepreneurs and inspiring peer role models who, in 2022, numbered more than 900 across 55 countries.
Our entire team is proud of Joanne for winning such a prestigious award and providing a wonderful service that helps elevate students and their families.
