Join the Laidley Centre for Business Ethics and Equity with 91社区 Black Alumni Association for a dynamic Black History Month panel discussion that addresses a significant societal issue highlighted by Statistics Canada: only 2% of Canadian businesses are Black-owned, and among these, fewer than 30% are led by women. This event aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical experiences by bringing together esteemed scholars and practicing entrepreneurs who are making significant strides in Montreal and across Canada.
