We could have easily published a 100 page issue, but opted instead to save some submissions for upcoming issues as they are also suited to the themes of Building Community and Enabling Innovation. Tony Bailetti of the Talent First Network is one of the driving forces behind the OSBR. He is guest editor this month and I think you{\textquoteright}ll agree that he has done an excellent job of finding authors from industry, academia, and non-profits who are on the frontlines of social innovation in Canada. This issue is jam-packed with resources and examples of initiatives--enough to leave you thinking "I had no idea so much was happening in Canada". They aren{\textquoteright}t meant to be exhaustive, but the insights and lessons learned can be applied to similar initiatives across the globe.}, issn = {1913-6102}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/181}, author = {Dru Lavigne and Tony Bailetti} }
