Two of my closest world changing colleagues and I were interivewed for an article last week on new models for financing and scaling social enterprises. Joel Solomon of Renewal Partners and Tim Draimin of Tides Canada Foundation and I were the sources for the story which ran in the online news source Social Enterprise Reporter.

There is still a lot of excitement and buzz in the air from last week's highly successful Canadian Conference on Social Enterprise in Vancouver. Vancouver's weekly business magazine Business in Vancouver just published a 4 page colour insert on the conference and the BC Social Enterprise Fund, summarizing some of the great work happening right here in BC moving this global trend forward. Note: The BIV spread is not published on their website but you can download a PDF at the bottom of this post.

It's been a full week. On Monday I had the honour of sitting on the opening panel discussion for the Second Canadian Conference on Social Enterprise in Vancouver.
