Directory & Marketplace - Social Enterprise in Ontario Survey

The Canadian CED Network (CCEDNet) is collaborating with partners to develop an online directory of Ontario social enterprises and is updating the social enterprise Canada Marketplace. This will increase the profile of social enterprises and the products and/or services they sell. By completing this survey you confirm your willingness to have your social enterprise registered on the Ontario directory and/or the national Marketplace. If your organization has multiple social enterprises, please complete a separate survey for each one.

CCEDNet is also exploring the potential of having an ecommerce marketplace and is surveying for your interest. Your feedback is much appreciated!
