In Alberta, we have a strong set of members. Over the past number of years, we’ve been working together to build stronger infrastructure for CED and the social economy, including hosting Econous 2017 in Calgary with Momentum and a collaboration of community partners. In 2019, working together with Momentum and the Edmonton Community Foundation, we released the Alberta Social Innovation & Finance Strategy. Recently, we’ve been a supportive partner of the developing provincial group – Alberta Social Economy Ecosystem Development, or AB Seed. That collaborative is working together to collectively increase the scale and coordination of the social impact of Alberta’s economy.

CCEDNet has a wide range of members in Ontario, working across regions, sectors, and demographics. We often work through the Ontario Social Economy Roundtable (OSER). In the past we led a provincial sub-network that worked on a range of regional initiatives including creating seontario.org, which while now somewhat outdated was a strong effort towards uniting and demonstrating the impact of the social enterprise sector in Ontario. We hosted Econous 2019 in partnership with Community Futures Ontario. And, in 2021, we worked with Conseil de la coopération de l’Ontario (CCO) to develop and release a new report – Community Investment in Ontario: Status and Prospects.

The social economy in this province is advanced and inspiring, and other regions have often looked to analyse their own development in light of what’s been achieved there. In Quebec, CCEDNet has a long-standing partnership with Chantier de l’economie sociale, making sure to coordinate on relevant action in that province. We also re-launched our national conference Econous in Montréal in 2016, partnering with CEDEC.
