By positioning social purpose and impact into the ethos of\\nthe company, she helps them have impact on important local or global issues. This isn\\u2019t philanthropy, rather a full social impact integration across all levels of the company so employees,\\ncustomers and the community know it, feel it, and see it.\\nThereby building strong, resilient communities and bridging gaps between business who have the means to contribute, and non-profits doing the work to help solve issues.\\nShe believes making profit with purpose creates a circular effect of people, profit, plenty, and purpose.\\nShe is committed to strengthening the social impact space in Canada and contributing to social change. Deb is a serial entrepreneur (having owned eight businesses), social entrepreneur and innovator, strategist and marketer, course creator, trainer, and educator.\\nShe routinely co-collaborates on educational opportunities to deliver content on social impact, social purpose, and sustainability to organizations across Canada and beyond.
