This workshop will be facilitated by Shahil Thomas of the Toronto Enterprise Fund, and will help you understand the value of conducting a thorough feasibility study of the market opportunity that your social enterprise idea represents. We will consider the different sources of information to assess the market demand for your product or service, how to determine the strategic ‘fit’ with your mission, evaluate the financial potential and how to understand the social programming required to operate an enterprise like yours.
The Toronto Enterprise Fund's 2016 Business Plan Competition is open to non-profit social enterprises that provide transitional or permanent employment for people who are marginalized.

On Monday, May 2nd, 2016 On Co-op in partnership with CCO, will be hosting a Lobby Day, followed by an evening reception at Queen’s Park. The Government Relations Committee has been hard at work planning an event this year that is strategic and focused. The Lobby Day will provide an opportunity for co-op sector leaders long with Government Relations Committee representatives, to attend pre-arranged meetings with their Ministers or MPPs prior to the Reception, to discuss our three key asks. 
In the evening, we will be hosting an evening Reception from 5 - 7 PM, to which sector leaders from each of the electoral ridings will be invited to attend. In keeping with the more strategic approach, the reception will not be open to all representatives of the sector, as we have done in the past.
Co-op sector leaders representing each of the electoral ridings and key government relations staff from co-ops and credit unions are invited to join us for an evening reception at Queen's Park on Monday, May 2nd, 2016. This is a free event and registration details will be available soon.
