This educational program is a unique opportunity for professional development in Community Economic Development. While there are CED programs already available in Alberta, this one is different in that it addresses CED from a social service/social enterprise perspective (rather than a business perspective). This program also includes a module on affordable housing. It nicely complements what is already offered in Alberta and would serve to provide a wider perspective when dealing with community issues.

This educational program is a unique opportunity for professional development in Community Economic Development.

This program also includes a module on affordable housing. It nicely complements what is already offered in Alberta and would serve to provide a wider perspective when dealing with community issues.

This educational program is a unique opportunity for professional development in Community Economic Development.

This program also includes a module on affordable housing. It nicely complements what is already offered in Alberta and would serve to provide a wider perspective when dealing with community issues.

This educational program is a unique opportunity for professional development in Community Economic Development.

This program also includes a module on affordable housing. It nicely complements what is already offered in Alberta and would serve to provide a wider perspective when dealing with community issues.

This program also includes a module on affordable housing. It nicely complements what is already offered in Alberta and would serve to provide a wider perspective when dealing with community issues.

This educational program is a unique opportunity for professional development in Community Economic Development. While there are CED programs already available in Alberta, this one is different in that it addresses CED from a social service/social enterprise perspective (rather than a business perspective). This program also includes a module on affordable housing. It nicely complements what is already offered in Alberta and would serve to provide a wider perspective when dealing with community issues.
