Social Enterprise Development in Canada with Ann Armstrong

Late last year, Dr. Ann Armstrong, a professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Business, presented a workshop at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) outlining the various forms of social enterprises and the challenges they face. The session included an open forum discussion that highlighted a number of social enterprises and allowed guests to learn from each other.
