Our Values

What is a Social Enterprise?

• We are a nonprofit company that employs people at a good living wage
• We incorporate a triple bottom line in our decisions: community, ecology, economy
• We share all profits with our community

Why?

• We incorporate “next generation thinking” – keeping our community in mind in all we do
• We take as a founding principle to share life’s bounty with those who are less fortunate

What does this mean?

• We work with communities across Canada to keep project benefits local
• We train and find employment for people who experience employment obstacles
• We develop training programs that help communities maintain resilience and self-reliance
