The role of social enterprise in supporting rural economic development: A community-led daycare in Norris Point, NL

This project will examine the role of community-led social enterprise to support social and economic innovation in rural Newfoundland. Our case study is the creation of a new daycare within a social enterprise in Norris Point, NL, and the potential for this case study to provide a model for how we can support job creation, economic growth, and post-pandemic resilience in rural areas. The project will provide the Intern with research, community engagement, and knowledge mobilization skills, and benefit the partner organization by contributing data and research findings to support socio-economic development.
