Hey there, time traveller!

A new program that aims to assist Black businesspeople is now accepting applications.
Manitobans who self-identify as part of the Black community are eligible to apply for the Manitoba Black Entrepreneurs and Small Business Program grants, offered by the provincial government. Applications are due on July 4.
People can apply for one project grant annually, between $5,000 and $20,000, per a news release from the province.
The goal of the program is to address the realities, barriers and opportunities specific to Black entrepreneurs and business owners, Jamie Moses, minister of business, mining, trade and job creation, said in the release.
Grants will be awarded with focus on three main areas: training on capital acquisition; assistance with building connections to experienced professionals; and building capacity through skills development.
A steering committee of representatives from the Black and business communities in partnership with the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce will administer the program.
