ImpactOntario drew a standing-room only gathering of participants on March 18th, which included world-changing Ontario ventures and world-leading investors and intermediaries. As activity and interest in social enterprise continues to grow in the province so too does the support for social enterprise development through the government of Ontario.
In Minister Eric Hoskins’ (Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment – MEDTE) keynote address he announced a call for proposals as part of the launch of the new $4 million Social Enterprise Demonstration Fund (SEDF). For more information, in both English and French, and links to the ministry’s program guidelines, please visit the SEDF website.
Also featured at ImpactOntario was the new informational video on social enterprise in Ontario produced by MEDTE.
Just before Minister Hoskins’ address, SEontario.org was also presented to ImpactOntario participants by Paul Chamberlain, the Canadian CED Network’s Ontario Director.
