As the African community grows in Thunder Bay, the northwestern Ontario city is welcoming a new crop of African-inspired businesses — with at least three opening this fall.
Another new restaurant, which is set to open this month at Goods & Co Market, is Na’madam’s African Cuisine, which plans to serve Cameroonian foods like fufu and chickens in peanut sauce.
Census data doesn’t show exactly how many immigrants from Africa live in Thunder Bay’s district, but suggests the population is growing.
Roughly half of those newcomers are from Europe, while the rest are split between Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South and Central America.
Sharon Bon, the owner of Dame Más Dance studio, which opened in 2020, said she’s seen the African community grow exponentially during her time in Thunder Bay.
Bon said that while many people in Thunder Bay had never heard of Kizomba, an Angolan dance, her classes have become so popular that she’ll likely need to find a bigger studio.
