New CCEDNet Research on the Social Enterprise Sector in Manitoba
In the summer of 2011, 118 social enterprises across Manitoba were surveyed in an effort to develop clear indicators of the sector's size, market activities, and socio-economic impacts. Although the results are prelimary, this report builds a strong case for all stakeholders to value the distinct contributions of social enterprises and to work together in creating a supportive environment in which the sector can grow.

CCEDNet Manitoba 2012 Policy Resolutions
CCEDNet Manitoba hosted its annual Policy Summit in November to determine our policy directions and priorities for the coming year. Over 40 CCEDNet Manitoba members attended the Summit to discuss, debate and vote on our collective policy agenda for 2012. CCEDNet members approved ten Policy Resolutions on areas including co-operative housing, support for social enterprise and reducing utility bills for low income Manitobans.
CCEDNet will partner with its members in the coming year to advance the Resolutions that were identified through the Summit process. CCEDNet also remains committed to working towards achieving our 2011 Policy Resolutions that are at varying stages of progress.

Winnipeggers March for Housing Rights
On National Housing Day (which fell on November 22) people across the country gathered to raise awareness about Canada’s continuing homelessness problem and to call for government action to address the lack of adequate, affordable housing.
In Winnipeg, the Right to Housing Coalition (a CCEDNet member) organized a Red Tent overnight camp-out in Memorial Park on November 21. The following day, campaigners marched through downtown Winnipeg, finishing at the Winnipeg Remand Centre where a press conference was held. In honour of the day, the Provincial Government announced that they would be renewing their commitment to create more affordable housing options in Manitoba.

CCEDNet Partners with Food Matters MB in Community Food Assessment Project
CCEDNet believes that food security and a healthy local food economy are very important for building healthy and vibrant communities. For this reason, we are very proud to be partnering with and supporting Food Matters Manitoba and others in a new community food assessment project in St. Vital. Through this collaborative and participatory process we will be able to identify existing community food gaps and assets. It is our hope that this will provide the information that is needed to develop a community-drive, comprehensive, and systematic food action plan. We hope that this, in turn, will provide a basis from which community-led action toward addressing food security can emerge.

University of Winnipeg's Uniter on the school's Co-op Management Course
The Uniter, the University of Winnipeg's student newspaper recently ran an article on the school's course in co-op management - the first of its kind in Canada. The course is taught by Moncia Adeler, a CCEDNet member and longtime advocate and researcher in the co-op community. The U of W’s co-op management course introduces how a co-op’s objectives and legal structure differ from a conventional business, then shows how mainstream management practices can be adapted to fit a co-operative model.
Monica's research into co-operative management led the Manitoba government to introduce the Co-operative Development Tax Credit last year.
