Who should attend: non-profit sector leaders, civil servants, procurement officers, members of the business community, Indigenous leaders (urban and community), people working to reduce poverty and environmental NGO’s.
Shaun Loney is one of Canada’s leading social enterprise developers having been involved in now 12 successful start-ups. These non-profit businesses hire people with barriers to employment and collectively have now reached over $10 million a year in revenues. Shaun is an Ashoka Fellow (first in Canadian Prairies) and Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year (2014).
In 2016, Shaun Loney released his book “An Army of Problem Solvers: Reconciliation and the Solutions Economy”. First Nations reconciliation has to include rebuilding local economies. Problem solvers such as social enterprises, social entrepreneurs and the small farm movement are demonstrating we can tackle society’s most stubborn problems affordably. How do we reinvent government to make it happen?
