In 2005, CEDTAP approved 45 initiatives. These initiatives involved,
diverse communities and groups across Canada. These projects focused
on a range of activities, including feasibility studies, business
and strategic planning, marketing, evaluation, and training; with
the overall objective of strengthening capacity while achieving their
desired results.
Also in 2005, we were pleased to announce a new partnership with The
Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). OTF announced one of its largest
grants ever, a total of $624,900 to three non-profit organizations:
CEDTAP, the Ontario Co-operative
Association (On Co-op), and the Ontario
Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet-Ontario). This
unique collaborative will support the three organizations in addressing
the energy, health and social integration challenges that Ontarians
face, and promoting corporate engagement with CED.
CEDTAP welcomes the OTF along with its other national funders -- The
JW McConnell Family Foundation, Bell
Canada and Carleton University -- whose combined support will
enable it to continue to assist community based organizations with
their innovative and inspiring initiatives in 2007.
In 2006, CEDTAP looks forward to receiving new applications from CED
organizations. Initiatives will be selected based on their ability
to demonstrate: innovation, sustainability, ability to be replicated
and, most importantly, community impact.

North
Shore School Building Committee
The North Shore School Building Committee is a community group
formed after two public meetings, under the umbrella of the
St. Ann's Bay Development Association. The Committee was formed
upon being notified of the impending closure of the local school
due to declining enrolment, to explore the possibility of the
community acquiring the school property in order to promote
local interests and/or enterprises. The Committee's task, before
the school closes in June 2005, will be to identify which option
best suits the wishes and needs of the community and to present
this to the community at large and ultimately to County Council.
The Committee is requesting financial support to hire a professional
consultant capable of leading the community through the process
of choosing a future for the local school building. They need
this service from a professional to ensure the community choices
are financially feasible and meet the social needs of the local
community..

The Open Door Inner City Ministry - through a Christian Presence
- seeks to enrich the social, spiritual, emotional and physical
lives of all the people in their community. The "Hands
Up" JCP is a project funded by Human Resources Development

security strategies. The CED component of the Hands Up Job Creation
Partnership Project is to work with the homeless and street
community in developing business ideas in which the Open Door
can provide an umbrella of support. CEDTAP funding for "Hands
Up" JCP will be used to hire a consultant to: 1) Educate
the community and target group about community businesses, 2)
Explore with the target group the types of businesses they are
considering and what can be done to support those businesses
(i.e. micro-credit arrangements, cooperative development, financial
management for businesses, etc.), 3) Define and focus on developing
up to three businesses.

Business Incubator Feasibility Study/Business Plan
EMBERS mission is to improve the standard and quality of life
in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver through enterprise development
and the resultant increase in opportunities for employment,
wealth creation and local ownership. EMBERS is seeking to establish
a fee-for-service business incubator model that will build upon
their human resource expertise to provide a new stream of revenue
and at the same time contribute towards its mission of catalyzing
new business development in the Downtown Eastside community.
However, before the organization could undertake such a project
they need to understand thoroughly all that it entailed, assess
the viability (sustainability) and risks involved. A feasibility
study/ business plan will provide EMBERS with the relevant information
and roadmap for their fee-for-service business incubator model.

WEEDCo's mission is to build a strong community by establishing
a sustainable and diversified economy consistent with values

Relationship Agreement between the Government of Quebec and
the Crees of Quebec confirms that the Route de la Baie James
will be extended from Whapmagoostui / Kuujjuarapik to the south
(200K approximately). Once the road is built Hydro Quebec will
construct a transmission line to bring electrical power to the
Cree community of Whapmagoostui and the Inuit community of Kuujjuarapik.
The objectives of this initiative are to undertake a pre-feasibility
study to identify the potential benefits/impacts of the road
and transmission line; and to develop a plan for a community
based planning process.
