Black Business Showcase

Solv. and the Centre for Global Citizenship Education and Inclusion have come together to present Centennial College’s Black Business Showcase throughout the month of February. Featuring over 40 Black-owned businesses in fashion, food, art and more, the Showcase offers multiple ways to engage with and support the innovative work of Black entrepreneurs from Toronto and neighbouring areas. We need local as much as local needs us. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Centennial College has encouraged community members to support local businesses as they navigate the ups and downs of necessary health restrictions and owning a business in these unprecedented times.

During the month of February, we invite you to celebrate Black History Month and join in the #CCSupportsLocal campaign by supporting these dynamic Black-owned businesses!

Here are four ways that you can support local Black-owned businesses:

  1. SHOP: Purchase items and services directly from the businesses’ websites
  2. SHARE: Spread the word! Tell your friends, family and colleagues about the Black Business Showcase and the individual businesses that catch your eye
  3. FOLLOW: Like the businesses on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook!
  4. ENGAGE: Comment on the businesses’ social media pages, tag them in photos of you with their products (don’t forget to add #CCSupportsLocal) or leave positive reviews on their pages!
