What people are saying about the program...

"The Program's broad-based, grassroots approach to community economic development is extremely valuable, surprisingly innovative, and completely refreshing. Every economic development professional should take the SFU-CED Program!"

- David Kalinchuk, Economic Development Manager, Rocky View, Alberta

"I loved every second of the program. I was expecting to leave with a deeper understanding of CED, and I did, but more importantly I connected with my fellow students and have been inspired by their passion and enthusiasm for making a difference in their communities."

- Michelle Eggli, enterprising non-profits program, Vancity

"The CED courses at SFU have proven to be an invaluable asset for my staff who have participated. They not only get instruction from highly qualified instructors but, in most cases, from instructors who are still working at the grass roots level in CED."

- Ray Gerow, Manager, Prince George Aboriginal Business Development Centre
