Location : Remote work position, available to applicants based in Fogo Island or St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, or in the Toronto (GTA) region of Ontario.
Who We Are The Shorefast Institute for Place-Based Economies is a program of Shorefast , one of the largest social enterprise organizations in Canada. The Institute brings together economic actors from communities, governments, and markets to develop, refine, and expand place-based approaches to economic development.
Through structured learning exchanges, resource sharing, and convenings, the Institute supports communities across Canada in shaping their own economic futures. Our work includes the ShoreNet network, the Economic Nutrition initiative, and other tools that make economic systems more visible and understood.
