The signs of fall are clearly in evidence here in Saskatoon – leaves starting to turn, a chill in the air (though fortunately we missed the snow that hit our neighbours in southern Alberta!), and a calendar rapidly filling with events and grant application deadlines!
Webinars
Innoweave, a national initiative supporting social innovation, has several webinars scheduled for the coming weeks, all free:
- Constructive Engagement (September 15)
- Social Enterprise (September 16)
- Introduction to Innoweave (September 18)
- Social Finance (September 24)
What counts as “political activities” for registered charities in Canada? Imagine Canada is offering a free webinar on this topic on September 23, including “practical steps … to reduce the possibility of a negative outcome in the event of an audit by CRA.”
