York Theatre on Commercial Drive

You don't want to miss this annual celebration of the BC social enterprise sector.

It’s a celebration! Enterprising Non-profits will host over 200 people from the social impact community including social entrepreneurs, investors, business experts, government, intermediaries and more.

It’s a competition! We focus our attention for one evening on the incredible work of several social enterprises. Through their 10 minutes pitches, we seek to understand their goals and address some of their major challenges & opportunities to effectively creating impact. Our panel of business advisers will assess each pitch and award up-to $50,000 (combined) in consulting and grants.

It’s a learning event! We can learn together – and our social enterprises leave Heroes having a deeper understanding of their business, seeing challenges and opportunities for what they are, and with the right combination of tools & resources needed to create change more effectively.

We are delighted to announce that the following non-profits will be there to tell us about their biggest social enterprise challenge or opportunity:

CleanStart  (Vancouver)   Coached by: KPMG
A cleaning social enterprise in the DTES creating employment for people with barriers.

Shatford Centre (Penticton)  Coached by: Junxion & BDC
A creativity and learning centre operated by the Okanagan School of the Arts.

Richmond Youth Services  (Richmond) Coached by: Vancity Community Foundation
A leading provider of programs and services that are responsive to the diverse needs of children, youth and families in Richmond.
