Purpose Economy Coffee

April 13, 2026

B Local Ontario is joining the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) together with B Local Ontario members creating Purpose Economy Coffee, an informal monthly gathering where people who care about this work can connect.

Many of us have been working for years to imagine and build new economic models that actually work for people and the planet. Some days it feels like we’re making real progress. Other days it feels like two steps back for every step forward.

But one thing we know for sure: none of this happens alone.

​That's why B Local Ontario is joining the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) together with B Local Ontario members creating Purpose Economy Coffee, an informal monthly gathering where people who care about this work can connect.

​If you’re an impact investor, entrepreneur, practitioner, policymaker, organizer, community builder, or just someone who believes we can do better, come join us.

​This is a chance to share ideas, find collaborators, spark new projects, and reconnect after a few strange years apart. There will be no agenda or presentations, just good conversations and the possibility that the next big idea might start over coffee.

Come share what you’re seeing. Meet others building new pathways. Find your people. And yes, let’s just share a coffee.
