Social Enterprises
Channel: GovernmentofBC
Date: 2018-10-17

Social enterprises: what are they, and how do they benefit local economic development in B.C. communities? Learn about the “trifecta” of social enterprises, social procurement, and social finance, and hear about the unique challenges and opportunities for social enterprises as part of a community's economy. We'll share examples of social enterprises in B.C. serving a variety of objectives from employment to environmental restoration. After this webinar, you’ll be able to identify how a local government or economic development agency can help to create a supportive environment for social enterprises that in turn serve the economic needs of the community.
