Six Degrees Of Social Innovation

If you're a "social innovator" and you want to mingle with or meet like-minded people get your tail over to the Centre  For Social Innovation Annex on Bathurst on September 4th.
Here's the scoop from the website:

"O
ur networking event for the social mission sector, SIX DEGREES OF SOCIAL INNOVATION, was recently described by Blog TO as one of the top 20 ways to meet people in Toronto. We thought that was pretty cool. Then we thought, OK, how could we make it even better?
Every month for the next three months, we’ll give our members a soapbox to discuss one social innovation topic through our blog, social media and SIX. September will be all about Community Finance; October will be Civic Engagement; and November will be Food. This means on the first Thursday of every month at CSI Annex, a CSI member will take the stage at SIX to deliver a brief presentation related to that month’s focus. Facilitated networking designed to maximize new connections among the attendees will follow the talk. And of course, there will be food and libations.
On Thursday, Sept. 4 (6-8pm, 720 Bathurst), CSI’s very own Sustainable Economist, Tim Nash, will give a presentation called “The Home that Community Finance Built,” which will highlight how Community Finance can be leveraged for social change. Tim Nash is an economics professor at Sheridan College and a financial planner. He is an expert on socially responsible investing, impact investing, and the green economy. He’s also a really nice guy... so say hi!
Come hear Tim’s presentation, meet other CSI members working in Community Finance (HiveWire, CSI's resident crowdfunding experts will also be in the house), and  make meaningful connections with other innovators and entrepreneurs working in everything from finance to farming."

Cheers,
Vanessa
