Why Tapestry, and why now?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Stephanie<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: I think this is a really important time for the work that we\u2019re doing. There\u2019s been a convergence of things happening in global and local politics that makes this moment particularly relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re seeing tariffs, trade tensions and a broader conversation about Canada\u2019s economic sovereignty. At the same time, there\u2019s growing recognition of the role that private capital, including investment from everyday Canadians, can play in building the country we want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have huge challenges around housing, climate and building resilient communities. Communities are already developing solutions to those challenges, but they often struggle to access the capital to make them happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the right moment to bring people together and ask what it would take to make that easier.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6aac809b0634b\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap\"><div class=\"row-bg\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\r\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are communities already doing that investors and policymakers should be paying more attention to?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Stephanie<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Communities often know what they need better than government does at a high level. Government understands that we have a housing crisis and a climate crisis, but it doesn\u2019t always see how those challenges are landing locally, day to day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communities see the problems <\/span><b>et<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge is that capital is often a barrier. We\u2019ve seen affordable housing providers and grassroots organizations spend years trying to piece together financing, sometimes combining 10 different sources of capital \u2013 traditional financing, grants, donations and more. It\u2019s hugely complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Community investment is unique because it puts power directly into the hands of communities. It gives them a way to act now rather than waiting for external decisions to be made on their behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think investors and policymakers should pay much more attention to what is already happening on the ground. There are incredible organizations actively addressing some of our biggest challenges, and community investment is one way to scale that work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also an opportunity for investors to think differently about what their capital can do. We can align our values with how we invest. We can find ways to use capitalism for good and create opportunities for Canadians to invest in things that matter to them and their communities.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_gallery wpb_content_element clearfix\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_gallery_slidesflickity_style\" data-onclick=\"link_no\" data-interval=\"5\"><div class=\"nectar-flickity not-initialized\" data-drag-scale=\"\" data-overflow=\"hidden\" data-wrap=\"wrap\" data-spacing=\"\" data-shadow=\"\" data-autoplay=\"\" data-autoplay-dur=\"\" data-free-scroll=\"\" data-controls=\"default\" data-desktop-columns=\"1\" data-small-desktop-columns=\"1\" data-tablet-columns=\"1\"><div class=\"flickity-viewport\"> <div class=\"flickity-slider\"><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/open-houes-BxB-600x400.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" alt=\"open houes BxB\" title=\"open houes BxB\" \/><\/div><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hughs-room-live-venue-600x400.jpeg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" alt=\"hughs room live venue\" title=\"hughs room live venue\" \/><\/div><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/P4P-Celebration-2023-21-scaled-600x400.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" alt=\"P4P - Celebration 2023-21\" title=\"P4P - Celebration 2023-21\" \/><\/div><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/solarshare-team-600x400.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" alt=\"solarshare team\" title=\"solarshare team\" \/><\/div><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/windshare-explace-turbine-600x400.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" alt=\"windshare explace turbine\" title=\"windshare explace turbine\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6aac809b07486\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap\"><div class=\"row-bg\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\r\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What needs to change for community investment to become mainstream?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Stephanie<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There are a few pieces. The Canadian Coalition for Community Capital is advocating for measures like a tax credit, loss deductibility and streamlined inclusion of community investments in registered accounts like RRSPs and TFSAs. These measures would help incentivize investment and reduce risk for investors. But the signal from government is just as important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When government makes these changes, it tells Canadians that community investment is something it believes in. That recognition can help signal to retail investors that this is becoming a mainstream part of the financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also an important role for wealth advisors. Most Canadians still make investment decisions with the support of a wealth advisor, even as self-directed investing becomes more common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As more Canadians move their money to online investment platforms, like Wealthsimple, there\u2019s an opportunity to integrate community investment into those platforms too. Ultimately, we want community investment to become something Canadians see as a normal part of how they invest.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6aac809b075d5\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap\"><div class=\"row-bg\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\r\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is this Summit different from other social finance conferences?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Stephanie<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There are lots of conferences that are critical to moving our sector forward, and we actively participate in those conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the focus on retail investment \u2013 everyday Canadians investing their money in projects with social, environmental, and cultural benefits \u2013 can sometimes get lost in broader conversations about social finance and impact investing.
