SiG

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 thesigstory.ca 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 thesigstory.ca #socialinnovation #funding #money #government

Take a crazy idea, and prove that it's possible, when it's never been done before. #humpday #socialinnovation #YouCanDoIt thesigstory.ca

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 cc: @sigeneration @igniter

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. bit.ly/2LgYo0t

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

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

How do you create #systemic and #sustained #change ? Our book offers some insights (from several people within #socialinnovation !) on the matter. thesigstory.ca #foodforthought

@IFiniq @karenrgomez @JohnRKenney @NickScott506 @ColleenTiernan @saief14 @Joutram @Joel_B @TimDraimin @marli_k @lecnlerc Hey everyone, the database will be stored with the soon to launch #socinn network and I've embedded it again in the @sigeneration site. Looks like #gid=1787023681" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@karenrgomez @JohnRKenney @NickScott506 @ColleenTiernan @saief14 @Joutram @Joel_B @sigeneration @TimDraimin @marli_k @lecnlerc Cool! Even better to open up discussion about long term maintenance. Maybe a group has drive/ability rn to update/maintain for a bit, and then baton is passed. Community curators to maintain, share burden & benefits. Hmmm. Sounds familiar 🤔 #OSS #git

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

Article + #TED talk by @rcbregman on Universal Basic Income. ‘Raising every American above the poverty line would cost about $175 billion, he says–about a third of what we spend on national defense.’ @paulborn @cities4people @indy_johar @GEspiau @cities4people @maytree_canada twitter.com/fastcoideas/st…

Congrats to my dear friend @TimDraimin on the wrap up of @sigeneration #celebratingexcellence
