Celebrating Africa, Culture, Community, and Family
At Bring on the Sunshine, we honour African heritage and culture through vibrant festivals, educational programs, youth leadership initiatives, and community events. Join us in celebrating diversity, fostering connections, and empowering our community to thrive together.
Helping the Kitchener-Waterloo region since 2010
Founded in 2010, Bring On The Sunshine (BOTS) was born from a grassroots movement to combat anti-Black racism and uplift African, Black, and Caribbean communities in Canada. Our focus on youth and immigrants in the Waterloo region underscores our commitment to fostering unity and support.
At BOTS, we're dedicated to nurturing leaders and fostering inclusive communities rooted in mutual respect. Through our innovative programs, we illuminate the rich contributions of Black individuals to global history, empowering youth to embrace their identity and heritage with pride and purpose.
