The Toronto Public Library is pleased to share that our Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) service is returning to the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge St) this Fall 2026.

Our free eight weeklong series is aimed to support aspiring entrepreneurs in their business journey with free workshops, consultations and networking opportunities.

Our resident, Ryan Knight, will draw on his entrepreneurial experience to help participants understand business structures, common challenges, customer relations, marketing, and more. The service runs from October 5th to November 26th, with weekly programs covering different business topics. You may find a list of our eight upcoming programs on our website. Registration for programs opens Monday, September 14th at 9AM.

Our resident, Ryan, will also be available for personalized feedback during one-on-one consultations. Participants interested in consultations must fill out an in-take form on the Toronto Public Library's website. We will begin accepting in-take forms on Monday, September 28th at 9AM.
