The social enterprise sector in Ottawa is thriving - with approximately 150 social enterprises operating across the city. These social enterprises are having incredible impact by providing employment to marginalized groups, solving critical social issues and providing income to parent organizations. Through the survey results, CISED have identified 6 major cluster areas where social enterprises are operating.

The general services cluster is one of the largest social enterprise clusters operating in the city and includes a variety of industries.  This breakfast event will invite service-based social enterprises as well as community stakeholders involved in supporting the growth of this sector.
