Region: Manitoba

The Manitoba regional network builds strength, knowledge, connection, and power.

The Manitoba regional network of the Canadian CED Network is a robust and dynamic network of non-profit community-based organizations, social economy enterprises such as social enterprises and co-operatives, funders, credit unions, social finance organizations, and more. 

In Manitoba, our members have strengthened our province’s communities and have helped build stronger local economies that benefit everyone through the Community Economic Development approach.

The Manitoba regional network takes action at local and provincial levels towards CCEDNet’s vision of sustainable, equitable, and inclusive communities directing their own futures. 

CCEDNet Manitoba’s work supports local members and aims to build strength, knowledge, connection, and power in, and between, members and the broader community. 

The Manitoba Network:

• builds strength of members and practitioners to do their work well through our capacity building and training through our programs the Spark Service and Manitoba Learns
• builds knowledge through sharing learning, practices, models, and stories that articulate CED approaches and strategies
• builds connection between members and people toward a more developed CED ecosystem and toward our shared vision by weaving our network together through membership engagement and coalition building
• builds power to advance our vision and collective voice through public policy advocacy,  government relations, and coalition building or support

CCEDNet Manitoba gathers on the traditional lands of the Cree, Ojibwe, Oji-Cree, Dakota, Assiniboine and Dené people, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. Our work primarily takes place on Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
