At this webinar, powered by RBC, you will learn about community benefit agreements (CBAs) and how they can be used as a tool for strengthening equitable employment opportunities, creating socially conscious supply chains, achieving environmental targets, and building vibrant communities.

Learn about the history of CBAs and social finance in Ottawa and East Ontario, and the opportunities and barriers to local CBAs in the years to come. You’ll leave this webinar with an understanding of how CBAs are beneficial for communities and for the economy by seeing proven case studies for success from across the country.
