Just a quick reminder to take our 2009 National Survey to help us get to know you better!

This survey only takes approximately 20 minutes and is running through the end of the week so there is still time to submit your answers.

The Canadian CED Network requests your participation in a national survey. Information about the characteristics and needs of the Network’s membership, and the broader sector, is essential for us to be effective as a national network.

The Canadian Social Economy Hub (CSEHub) has recently published the May 2009 edition of their E-Bulletin. This E-Bulletin provides updates on events and projects within the CSEHub and its six regional research centres (nodes) across Canada.
