Course Description:

This course will allow students to explore the legal and policy issues surrounding Community Economic Development and Social Innovation in Canada. In recent years a host of factors have eroded the boundaries between nonprofit, government and business sectors, leading to numerous social innovations in dealing with community sustainability and economic development in disadvantaged communities and the agencies which serve them.

Students will examine the primary regulatory issues which have emerged in this area, including: Corporate organization (Community Interest Corporations); tax (CRA & CED/social enterprise regulations); nonprofit/charitable (Program Related Investments, responsible/mission based investing). A special emphasis will be placed on understanding the “impact investment” framework that is emerging to finance these developments.

During the course students will meet social entrepreneurs and leaders in the field of community economic/social enterprise development and impact investment/social finance.
