SUMMARY:Next Economy Conversations: Chris Caners of SolarShare
DESCRIPTION:As we look to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that now, more than ever, we cannot go back to the way things were. From the climate crisis to deep social inequalities, the challenges of our time require us to build the Next Economy – one that is sustainable, equitable, and prosperous for all.\nNext Economy Conversations, the Centre for Social Innovation’s monthly event series, is your chance to hear from incredible leaders helping to build this Next Economy. Learn about their work as well as their personal journeys, learnings, and visions for the future.\nOn Thursday December 10, Tonya Surman, CEO of the Centre for Social Innovation, will sit down (virtually, of course!) with Chris Caners, General Manager of SolarShare.\nSolarShare is a not-for-profit co-operative that owns, finances, and operates 49 solar facilities across Ontario, whose more than 1900 members have invested $60 million in local, democratically controlled solar energy assets. As Canada’s leading renewable energy co-op, SolarShare makes it easy for Ontario residents to invest in solar energy installations that earn an impressive return while doing something good for the planet.\nPlease note that we’ll use Zoom to connect. Details will be sent to confirmed registrants via email before the event.\nDon’t see an email from us by December 9? Check your spam folder in case it ended up there. Otherwise, email us at info@socialinnovation.ca.\nAbout our guest, Chris Caners\nChris Caners is a professional engineer and the General Manager of SolarShare. He is responsible to the Board of Directors for SolarShare’s operations, finance, business development, and strategy. Earlier in his career, Chris was a Senior Manager with the international energy and environmental consultancy ICF. He has also worked with the innovative Kenyan company M-Kopa Solar, and was the Manager of the University of Toronto Sustainability Office.\nAbout our host, Tonya Surman\nTonya Surman is fuelled by her belief in the power of collaboration and belonging. She knows that putting the right people in a room is only the first step in creating real change. You also need to build a culture where everyone knows that they have value and a voice to radically redesign our futures. She did this with the Centre for Social Innovation, which re-invented the workplace by collecting social purpose organizations under one roof. And it’s what she is doing with CSI’s affiliate charity, the Centre for Social Innovation Institute and Social Innovation Canada,  unlocking the social innovation community to get at the root causes of problems. She knows building relationships between people is the foundation for a better world. It’s also a heck of a lot of fun!\nAbout our Title Sponsor, Fiix\nFiix is the easiest way to plan, track, and optimize maintenance. We’re the first open CMMS platform that mixes innovative technology with a focus on partnering with customers to help them organize assets, manage work, connect to business systems, and make data driven decisions.
