Community Economic Development

Since 1989 SFU’s Community Economic Development (CED) Programs have provided capacity building, planning methodologies, and leadership for generations of innovative community practitioners. Located in the Faculty of Environment, SFU CED believes in the transformative power of communities, and we support our participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to make progressive social, environmental, and economic change in the world around them.
