What it does

CED supports community economic development and diversification with a view to fostering economic prosperity in Quebec and creating good jobs for the middle class. CED’s activities primarily target non-profit organizations with an economic orientation, and businesses. Diversification is an essential prerequisite for the growth and resilience of regional economies, particularly in single industry communities. CED is thus helping to build more attractive, competitive and inclusive regions. It brings this about by providing support for local and regional enterprises, and by developing strategies and engagement plans and community economic facilities to strengthen local economies and promote community engagement. It also achieves this by boosting strategic investments through the development and promotion of regional assets to attract tourists from outside Quebec as well as international organizations. Moreover, CED supports the economic inclusion of minority communities by supporting their economic development activities. It also supports community economic diversification and development by offering communities located outside major urban centres necessary resources to identify and apply local solutions to their problems.
