About this business

Culturis is a Canadian cultural infrastructure network, based in Ottawa and Toronto. It builds and runs a connected ecosystem of platforms that improve access, visibility and opportunity through culture.

InnaPace came first. It is a directory of practitioners who support your mental health, through the body as much as the conversation, and you can find someone there without having to explain yourself first. A therapist tells you to move your body, eat differently, rest properly, find your people. Then the hour ends. InnaPace is where the rest of that lives: trainers, dietitians, naturopaths, massage therapists, and the studios and gyms where it takes place, practitioners who can see each other and send you across so you are not starting over.

FitnessBeach was built for the part that has to happen in a room with other people. Movement, travel and shared experience, beyond the screen. It is where the community InnaPace points you toward actually meets.

Mentioned is the same thinking applied to business. Businesses are found, recommended and backed through community connection instead of ratings from strangers, and a funding match shows an owner what they can reach.

They exist together because what they carry is continuous. Wellness leads to community, community to business, business to opportunity, and each one opens the door to the next. Most services break that chain. Culturis is built to hold it.

Culturis is not built for one culture. It is built with Caribbean and Black Canadian communities in mind first, and it is open to everyone. Out of many, one people.

How I got here

I have always been curious about how businesses find each other. Who you work with, why you chose this path, and which businesses helped you get to where you are. A few years ago I was in Barbados, talking with a gym owner. I mentioned there was probably funding he could use to run programs for youth, and he told me he had never heard of anything like it. We spent the rest of that conversation on two questions I have not been able to put down since. How does that kind of information reach the businesses that need it? And when one business finds someone good, a supplier, a contractor, anyone worth keeping, how does the next business ever find out? Mentioned is my answer to both, and it rests on one premise: a business is also a customer. I started Culturis to connect opportunity to my culture and my community, and my culture has never been separate from the wider community I am part of here. The businesses around me in Canada come from everywhere, and that is the point. Each one can help build up the next, and communities grow when that happens. Health, technology, culture, and communities people are glad to belong to. Those are the things I care about, and Culturis is how I work on all of them.
