Happy Black History Month! This month is the 46th year that Black History Month has been celebrated. The commemoration began in 1926 when Harvard-educated historian Carter Woodson proposed a dedicated time devoted to honouring the accomplishments of Black Americans. Since then, Black History Month has turned into a global recognition of black history and black excellence. A large part of celebrating history is admiring the accomplishments that have been made today, like the amazing Black-owned businesses in Toronto.

Below is a list of black-owned businesses in the Greater Toronto Area. These stores produce amazing products and showcase a wide variety of talent. Consider buying from these stores to support their growth!
