The Canadian Community Economic Development Network has released the first provincial study to focus exclusively on social enterprise, giving a big picture look at just how much impact SE is having on communities in Ontario. For example, in 2011, these enterprises generated over $143 million in sales, employed at least 5,355 people and paying over $117 million in wages and salaries.
This baseline data now sets benchmarks to follow SE’s growth here, and will support future platforms such as an online database and marketplace.
