Business Support Series: Challenges and Opportunities for Canadian Black Entrepreneurs
Business Support Series
The Business Support Webinar Series will explore timely topics with industry experts to provide key insights and answers on the best ways to succeed as a business. Hosted by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, this series will feature a wide range of topics on how to survive and thrive.
Black History Month is about honouring the enormous contributions that Black people have made, and continue to make, in all sectors of society. It is about celebrating resilience, innovation, and determination to work towards a more inclusive and diverse Canada—a Canada in which everyone has every opportunity to flourish.
This year the Halifax Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Federation of African Canadian Economics (FACE) to discuss the barriers that face Black entrepreneurs today and the resources that are available to them. FACE is a national and bilingual Black-led non-profit organization focused on providing resources and information to the Black community across canada with the aim of accelerating wealth creation for Canadian of African descent.
