Welcome back to the Summer of Good series! In this episode we welcome Tonya Surman (CEO) and Kyle Shantz (Managing Director) from the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) to discuss the transformative power of community bonds. Tonya and Kyle share the story of how CSI’s beginnings as the first co-working space in Canada expanded to reinventing the social innovation space, successfully buying their buildings through community bonds. They highlight how the community bond model has evolved and expanded to help nonprofits and social enterprises access much-needed capital - and what needs to still be done.
