government incentives business ethics supply chain public policiesThe project aims to develop a comprehensive public policy framework to bolster sustainable, local Canadian supply chains and establish the legal standing of social enterprises. The framework will focus on creating policies that protect natural resources, promote ethical business practices, and incentivize local production. Additionally, it will ensure that businesses with a social mission, like Your Sweet Spot Life, are recognized and supported by regulatory structures and government incentives. The project will involve researching existing policies, identifying gaps, and proposing new policies that align with sustainable and ethical business practices. Students will apply their knowledge of public policy, sustainability, and business ethics to create a framework that supports the growth and recognition of social enterprises in Canada.
The deliverables for this project include a detailed policy framework document and a presentation summarizing the key findings and recommendations. The policy framework document will outline proposed policies, their objectives, and implementation strategies. The presentation will highlight the benefits of the proposed framework for sustainable supply chains and social enterprises.

We are capturing what it means to be Canadian—one resource, one product, one story, one experience at a time. Our process begins with local natural resources, crafted by passionate creators who turn raw materials into meaningful works. Each creation tells a story—of learning, making, and transforming—connecting us to our culture and community. Through these efforts, we showcase how creation inspires, empowers, and leaves a lasting impact on those who experience it.
Motivation and Ideology
We are driven by a commitment to reshaping the way resources are sourced, products are made, and communities are supported. Our goal is to create sustainable, high-quality goods that reflect Canadian culture and values, challenging traditional models of production and consumption.
Resource Development
We work tirelessly to find truly Canadian resources, overcoming the challenges posed by global outsourcing. Partnering with universities and local groups, we aim to discover, develop, and utilize local materials for a sustainable, ethical product line.
Creation and Innovation
Through collaboration with creators, we develop innovative products that highlight Canadian craftsmanship and creativity. Our focus is on providing the tools, resources, and support to help creators build products that are both sustainable and meaningful.
Community Engagement
We believe in the power of collaboration and are actively working with local businesses, schools, and community groups to foster long-term, sustainable growth. By building strong partnerships, we support the development of local industries and create a more resilient economy.
Market and Sales
Our marketplace serves as a platform to sell not only our own products but also those created by other local artisans and businesses. By offering sustainable, high-quality products, we aim to make ethical consumption the easy and logical choice for consumers.
The Vision
Our vision is to build a self-sustaining ecosystem where Canadian resources are prioritized, and businesses are empowered to thrive. We are working towards creating resource hubs and a CRM system that will streamline the development of local products and services, creating a lasting impact on communities and industries.
