SiG@MaRS delivers social entrepreneurship programming and advisory support as a partner program of MaRS. Social Innovation Generation (SiG) is a collaborative partnership among The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation of Montreal; the University of Waterloo; the MaRS Discovery District of Toronto, and the PLAN Institute of Vancouver.

SiG@MaRS’ goal is to promote a robust innovation culture in Canada specifically social innovations that meet social and environmental goals.

When asked why SIG@MaRS decided to partner with YSEC for our inaugural conference Cheryl May, Advisor and Director of Social Entrepreneurship, replied:

The Social Innovation advisory service at MaRS works with social entrepreneurs from all sectors who are fuelled by inspiration and vision, and a drive to combine good business with doing good. YSEC is a tremendous force because it brings youth into the realm of social entrepreneurship, and when I see the enormous movement of people who are embracing social entrepreneurship, I am buoyed by the knowledge that the future is in good hands.

Thanks for your vote of confidence and support Cheryl May and SIG@MaRS!
