"The federal government in Canada spends $20 billion a year buying stuff. In the next 10 years they're going to spend $180 billion on infrastructure. We can add a social value to that, so government spending is really getting the best value for the taxpayer." Episode #41 of Season 2 of The Social Impactors Podcast features #SocialImpactor David LePage, Managing Partner at Buy Social Canada, a network of partners across Canada which advocates for and promotes a supportive public policy environment and the practice of leveraging community value from existing procurement. David focuses on contributing to creating a social value market place, where trading generates community capital rather than merely economic capital. His work involves the developing and advocacy for social enterprise, social procurement and social value investing.   Leave a #iTunes review to help new people find it!
