Simon Fraser University Community Economic Development Program for Professionals

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:08:53 -0600

Start: Sep 1 2008 - 6:00am

End: May 30 2009 - 6:00am

Timezone: Etc/GMT-4

Description:

This educational program is a unique opportunity for professional development in Community Economic Development. While there are CED programs already available in Alberta, this one is different in that it addresses CED from a social service/social enterprise perspective (rather than a business perspective). This program also includes a module on affordable housing. It nicely complements what is already offered in Alberta and would serve to provide a wider perspective when dealing with community issues.
