Spotlight Panel Discussion: TPL’s 2025 Entrepreneurs-in-Residence

Welcome to Spotlight Panel Discussion: TPL’s 2025 Entrepreneurs-in-Residence!

Join us at North York Central Library for a candid conversation with Toronto Public Library’s 2025 Entrepreneurs-in-Residence! Hear about what they learned during their residencies working hands-on with small business owners and startup founders across the city. They’ll talk through common roadblocks, breakthrough moments, and resources that actually move the needle. We aim to have a short audience Q&A and light networking towards the end of the event. Please register in person, or scan the QR Code below.

This program is part of TPL’s Newcomer Entrepreneurship Initiative, and reflects our commitment to championing inclusive entrepreneurship by uplifting newcomer, Black, and women entrepreneurs. Through storytelling, shared experiences, and open conversations, we celebrate and support the diversity of Toronto’s small business community.

Location: Auditorium (2nd floor), North York Central Library, 5120 Yonge St North York, ON
