This collection of short documentaries, produced by Father Greg MacLeod, PhD and Cape Breton University, explores the outstanding success and potential of Community Development Corporations in action. Aired originally on on Community-Minded TV in Spokane, Washington, USA, the videos capture “hands on” advice from the people who have done it, providing blueprints for success – democratic strategies which have been most successful at combatting problems of high unemployment and ‘community depletion.’ Regions and organizations featured in this series include BCA & Community Finance, Cheticamp, Mondragon, Great Northern Peninsula, New Dawn Enterprises, and the Concept in Operation. The Community Business Series Videos & Booklets are invaluable resource and inspirational tools for community economic development.
