12pm to 1pm Mountain Time
How might local capital improve economic development in Albertan communities? Would it result in diversification, job creation, development of value added agriculture and downtown revitalization?
The Unleashing Local Capital Program helps communities establish Opportunity Development Co-operatives, or ODCs. ODCs are community led enterprises that raise capital through the sale of RRSP and TFSA eligible shares to finance local business development. Strong examples include the Sangudo and Crowsnest Pass Opportunity Development Co-operatives.
