Social enterprises, cooperatives, and nonprofits play a major role in our region. Interested in enterprises that value humans over profit and create meaningful change?
Join Vision Gaspé–Percé Now, the Pôle d’économie sociale Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the Coopérative de développement régional du Québec, and SEEnet to learn more about social enterprises and hear from social entrepreneurs in the region. A panel discussion and question-and-answer session will follow.
We’ll explore topics including:
- What are social enterprises? Where are they found in the region?
- How are they effective solutions for community issues?
- How do I start my own social enterprise?
Panelists:
- Dave Felker, Projet Rural
- Ève Bédard, Centre communautaire de Douglas
- Association des capitaines-propriétaires (ACPG)
