4:00pm to 6:00pm Pacific Time

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.

The cluster of social enterprises on this tour shows how an intense local impact can actually grow to be part of a broader ecosystem in other communities that want to see their economies guided by the same values. These projects have scaled to have a scope of influence with impact far beyond the DTES: sharing their knowledge, best practices, their own conscientious practices, and more, and gaining an international profile due to their success.
