Support for social economy businesses
The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for social economy businesses in Montréal. Given the importance of these community organizations, the city wants to provide them with financial assistance, free advisory services and training.
These services, which are provided by the city and its partner organizations, are specifically for social economy businesses.
