About
WHAT WE DO
The objective of the Afro-Canadian Chamber of Commerce (ACCC) is to serve small and medium-sized Afro-Canadian owned businesses or other entrepreneurial start-ups.
It also aims to connect Black Businesses in Canada to each other, to the broader Canadian market, and the African diaspora (e.g., continental Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and anywhere else that Black people live).
We share business-related information and support local and international trade.
LEADERSHIP AND PROGRESS
The ACCC includes:
- Staff who respond to members’ questions and concerns and make sure that members are receiving all the benefits and entitlements from their membership
- A Board of Directors who provide direction to the ACCC on which events and initiatives to pursue and how we can improve the experiences for our members
- You – our members
Why Create an Afro-Canadian Chamber?
The ACCC is dedicated to supporting Black businesses, entrepreneurs, and aspiring entrepreneurs. We believe in the African proverb…
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
