"Le programme de bourses d'innovation civique RECODE/Des villes pour tous subventionne des projets qui permettent aux institutions postsecondaires de jouer le rôle d'acteurs civiques qui catalysent le changement positif dans les villes. Ces bourses vont appuyer les collaborations novatrices - entre institutions postsecondaires, organismes communautaires et entreprises - qui renforcent leurs communautés."

"Social enterprises, also known as social ventures, are businesses with an innovative model that is changing the nature of enterprise. They can take a variety of structures, including non-profits, for-profits, co-ops, partnerships and more. Like other businesses, social enterprises aim to be economically self-sustainable. They earn enough money to pay employees a fair wage, cover all of their expenses, and support the business' growth. But unlike other businesses, social enterprises have incorporated improving social, cultural, community or environmental outcomes into their business model. As their enterprises grow - so too do the benefits to society."
