What Our Clients Are Saying
Volunteer Centre of Guelph/Wellington, Guelph, ON
CGS was great to work with as we worked through our first-ever business plan for a social enterprise within our community benefit organization. They got our “big picture” interests, yet was detail-oriented to the extent that we came up with a plan that would move us forward.
– Gayle Valeriote, Program Manager
Colchester East Hants Hospice Society, Truro, NS
CGS’s ability to quickly research and understand the market combined with a genuine interest in the groups they facilitated enabled us to significantly expand our scope. They skillfully educated our staff, board and community partners about social enterprise with clarity, insight and humour.
– Janet Whelan, Executive Director
