Pourquoi maintenant ?
Les rues principales nécessitent une attention et des investissements urgents.
Across three key social themes, we found that main street scale investments offer high-impact oppurtunities to effect change in Canadians' lives. When compared to the 'traditional' way of investment based on asset class, this new model founded in a neighbourhood context enables meaningful change.
