The slideshow I designed to introduce social enterprise/entrepreneurship at various events during my position at The Centre for Social Enterprise.

1. Social Enterprises are innovative businesses
and organisations that are created to
pursue a social mission in a financially
sustainable way.
There is no universally accepted definition
of ‘social enterprise’ and no legal definition
of ‘social enterprise’ in Newfoundland and
Labrador. This is a reflection of the
evolution of the sector and its emerging
nature.
