This report seeks to determine what CED-oriented business development might consist of. This research will seek to determine what is meant by “Community Economic Development” and determine what the components of a potential business development strategy are and what role the different stakeholders are to play. The research will seek to provide the stakeholders with a better understanding of what might be possible in terms of North End business development as well as what might be required for those goals to be realized.

The objective of this research is to analyze the extent to which the information and computer technology (ICT) industry in Winnipeg contributes to or detracts from the objectives of community economic development (CED). Using survey data supplemented by Statistics Canada data, it appears as though the ICT industry does contribute significantly (although undoubtedly unintentionally) to meeting some CED goals, while failing to advance others.
