Unleashing Local Capital - Reflections on the Process: Webinar

Details

This presentation will examine the role of the Unleashing Local Capital Project to increase local investing in Alberta by establishing Opportunity Development Co-operatives. We will discuss the role of intermediaries to support innovators at the grass-roots level, connect with technical experts and existing local investing regimes, and to build networks and resources that will assist the creation of Opportunity Development Co-operatives in other communities.
 
We will also focus on the role of the co-operative structure to facilitate local investing and the potential to create transformational change in the local economy.

Featured Presenters:

Paul Cabaj is the Director of Co-op Development with the Alberta Community and Co-operative Association (ACCA). He was involved as a researcher in two BALTA research projects that contributed greatly to the development of Unleashing Local Capital.
 
Seth Leon is a research officer at the Alberta Community and Co-operative Association. He is also a member of the Unleashing Local Capital steering committee, and is currently working on a co-operative development project with First Nations and Métis Communities.

Do you want to see carsharing grow in Winnipeg? Are you an energetic self-starter who cares about the environment? This spring, Peg City Car Co-op is expanding into more neighbourhoods in central Winnipeg. To help do this successfully, we need a reliable people person who gets what carsharing is and how it works. Someone who understands the individual, environmental and community benefits. And better yet, can explain these benefits to others in a way that encourages them to join the co-op!
