Explore the impact organizations and social enterprises that make the DTES the beating heart of social change in Vancouver, with CCEDNet member Groundswell - Grassroots Economic Alternatives Society & local community economic development strategist Wes Regan.

Groundswell is cultivating entrepreneurial skills in people who care about people and the planet more than profit. What does this look like?  Meet a few of the people and projects they have launched out of Groundswell’s community and landed in the local community, and see first hand the transformative impact they’ve had in their own lives and in the community around them.
