Ellen Nguyen, Owner Publisher What’s On! Mission www.WhatsOnMission.ca “What’s On! Mission has allowed me to raise my family while doing a job that I love. The flexibility of this business has allowed me to fit in time for family and work, while keeping me engaged in my community. What’s On! has built a structure that makes it easy to learn how to run a business and still allows me to be creative.
