Catalyzing Social and Environmental Change: a conversation with SI Canada’s Andrea Nemtin

Our guest today is Andrea Nemtin, Executive Director of SI Canada.

Sally and Andrea talk about what Social Innovation is, the history of the field in Canada, and how Social Innovation Canada (SI Canada) came to be. 

Andrea talks about the priorities of the organization as our country emerges from COVID, and how solutions to the complex challenges of social justice and climate change can be catalyzed and aligned through education, intentional networking at local and national levels across all sectors, and storytelling.
