The Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet) is now accepting project proposals to implement regional systems building projects, focused on supporting community organizations, social enterprises, and community economic development (CED). Accepted projects will be able to access a $5,000 to $80,000 grant to support their initiative. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis and will be reviewed by staff with additional input from members or partners.

On February 22nd and 23rd, 2023, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and the Canada School of Public Service will be co-hosting the seventh annual Government of Canada Data Conference.
