Welcome to our BIPOC Friendly Business Directory
(COMING SOON)

This will be your go-to resource for discovering businesses in the Bay of Quinte that are committed to equitable inclusion of racialized people. While Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour represent the visible minority in small towns and rural areas, BIPOC people in reality, represent the people of the global majority!

Consequently, we have the capacity to make the Quinte region shine as leaders of restorative action through active allyship.

[This directory is a collaborative project brought to life by the owners of Caribbean Jerk Spot in Belleville, ON.]

it is written

"Just as we have many parts in one body — and all the parts do not have the same function — so we, who are many, are ONE in Christ and everyone parts of one another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace that was given to us.”

- Roman 12:4-6​​​​​​​​

​

We, the Quinte Cultural Innovation Committee (QCIC) advance equity and inclusion through the practice of decolonization. As a nonprofit organization, we apply permaculture ethics and principles to transform both our internal governance and the interconnected communities we serve.

​

We collaborate across political and social spectrums — engaging individuals and organizations from both the left and the right — to bring polarized people together in mindful, restorative spaces. Our goal is to spark catalyst moments of truth-telling that lead to healing, restorative justice, and reconcili-action.

​

Grounded in the understanding that we are one human family — one species —we work to harmonize the balance between people, plants, pollinators, and the planet. Through this, we nurture safe, brave spaces where repairative actions take root, misunderstandings fall away, and solutions thrive.
