Two exciting community projects:
The goal of the Collaborative for Innovative Social Enterprise Development is to create a continuum of support for social enterprise in the city of Ottawa through access to technical expertise, financing, learning communities, training, and cross-sector partnerships. CISED is a partnership between Causeway, Ottawa Community Loan Fund, Carleton Centre for Community Innovation (3Ci), Algonquin College, the Business Innovation Centre and Vanier Community Service Centre. A first in Ontario, CISED is developing an integrated approach to providing services to new and established social enterprises in Eastern Ontario.

In partnership with SLOWest, Causeway Work Centre is currently preparing to launch a community-based bike sharing program in Ottawa West. Right Bike is a sustainable transportation program that will offer bicycles for public use for short trips. The bikes will be available at 3-4 stations located on or near Wellington St and Richmond Rd from Hintonburg to Westboro. Cycle Salvation will provide the fleet of bicycles, as well as mechanical support. Please visit Right Bike's website for the latest news.
