To meet the demands of this rapidly developing field of practice, organizations and individuals from across Ontario have begun working together on issues of province-wide importance. This work is grounded in the belief that the social economy has the potential to have a considerable, lasting and positive impact on intractable social issues. Organically, collaboration has occurred on an ad-hoc basis, with organizations or individuals coming together around issues of mutual interest.
