In June 2005 Darrell Kyte of SRDC presented at the 2005 Canadian Social Welfare Policy Conference entitled “Forging Social Futures.” The presentation discussed lessons learned about local governance in the Community Employment Innovation Project (CEIP) and reviewed the various avenues of effect through which CEIP may lead to improved social inclusion. This included a discussion of the relevant definition and measures of social inclusion used in CEIP as well as the related concepts of social capital and social cohesion.
