Black Entrepreneurship
Bring on the Sunshine (BOTS) has been supporting Black entrepreneurship in the Waterloo Region since 2010. Our mission is to leverage our platform, business expertise, and community knowledge to provide invaluable support to Black, African, and Caribbean businesses.
What do we do to help?
We aim to empower Black entrepreneurs by offering them opportunities to showcase their products and services to a wider audience through our festival and various events throughout the summer. Approximately 80% of our vendors are Black, with the remaining 20% from other communities.
