In December 2017 @sigeneration sunset its operations after more than a decade fostering a Canadian ecosystem for systems change. We wrote about our learnings in a book https://t.co/1YtLdmL6qk and thank you for your ongoing work to make the world a better, more just place.

What is YOUR definition of #socialinnovation? I want to hear your thoughts and ideas. What do you think it is? And more importantly, how do you think it can affect you and your world? #innovation #foodforthought #wednesdaywisdom #gov

No one likes to talk about money, and funding, yet we all need help with it. #SIgeneration is here for that. We've got resources and ideas and we want to share them with you. Don't be shy! Join at https://t.co/GxopGEY959 #socialinnovation #funding #money #government

Its been amazing to follow (and at times, have been a part of) the work of the @jwmcconnell Foundation over the past 10 years as they've scaled, grown and adapted their impact and approach to philanthropic giving in #socent #socinn ecosystems

We are pleased Canada’s #Poverty Reduction Strategy identifies literacy as a contributing factor to poverty and an important determinant of future success for everyone. https://t.co/TO44HYDZy9

Being allowed to fail, especially with experiments, is important - that's how we learn. Do you agree with our #mindset? #tuesdaythoughts #socialinnovation #fail

[SiG @sigeneration]

Our hope to change things and the way that they function, is founded and rooted in experience and insights. We want to share that with you, so you can take it and share it with others. And #together, we can make sustained change happen. #notnaivehope #socialinnovation

[SiG @sigeneration]

How do you create #systemic and #sustained #change ? Our book offers some insights (from several people within #socialinnovation !) on the matter. https://t.co/0kMquyNymy #foodforthought

[SiG @sigeneration]

Does being "nice," a quality often associated with Canadians, help us foster social innovations? Tim Draimin has more to say: https://t.co/GxopGEY959 #socialinnovation #Canada
