Defend The Social Economy Initiative!

The federal government approved funding to support CED and social economy organizations and initiatives in 2004. Now, its implementation by regional development agencies (Western Diversification, FEDNOR, ACOA) outside of Quebec may be cancelled as part of budget adjustments by the new government. To keep this from happening, the Canadian CED Network and the Canadian Co-operative Association have launched a letter-writing campaign to MPs, Government Ministers, and opposition critics.

Show your support for the Social Economy Initiative! Read a sample letter then write the government to urge that funding for CED and the social economy continue and that it be implemented in all provinces as soon as possible.
