The Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet) is a member-driven Canadian organization, founded in 1999 to increase the scale and effectiveness of community economic development (CED), helping organizations and individuals strengthen their communities and create solutions to local needs. CCEDNet was created to strengthen community economic development in urban, rural, northern, and Aboriginal communities across Canada in order to contribute to a better social, economic, and environmental conditions at the local level. CCEDNet's members are from community-based organizations, co-operatives, social enterprises, practitioners, active citizens, researchers, and other organizations from every region of Canada. Members are located in all provinces of Canada and two territories and are engaged in a range of activities focused on addressing the inequities born out of the mainstream economy, generally through working with those who have barriers to social and economic inclusion.
CCEDNet is currently a member of international networks such as the New Economy Coalition and the Intercontinental Network for the Promotion of Social Solidarity Economy (RIPESS)
