Join us at our next webinar as we reflect on how Ontario’s Southwest Black Tourism “Spark” Program has been integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles within the tourism industry. We'll hear firsthand from past winners and the program partners about the impact of this initiative.

 The Spark program supports Black entrepreneurs, small businesses, and non-profit organizations in Ontario’s Southwest, fostering new tourism ideas and partnerships with benefits such as seed funding, mentorship, and access to a network of tourism innovators.
