Across British Columbia, Black entrepreneurs and small business owners are accelerating innovation, creating prosperity, and shaping our future.
The Government of Canada is investing $3.8 million in British Columbia through the Black Entrepreneurship Program Ecosystem Fund to expand services for Black-led businesses so they can grow and succeed.
Today, the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada, announced that the Black Entrepreneurship Program Ecosystem Fund investment of $3.8 million will be delivered by PacifiCan in British Columbia and will fund services such as business acceleration, financial planning, and business development and advisory services.
These services will help Black entrepreneurs and business owners grow their businesses, access new opportunities, and power communities across B.C.
Supporting Canadian businesses in every community is how we will build Canada strong. The Government of Canada is committed to reducing barriers for Black Canadian entrepreneurs and helping them prosper.
