Poverty Social Enterprise Bissell Centre

Gary St. Amand

For more information www.communityinnovationhub.org

Bissell Centre commitment is to end poverty in our community. Impossible? Can’t be done? That is the same things that were said to Edison and the Wright brothers. Where would we be today if they believed those things could not be accomplished? When we believe something is impossible, we act as if that is true and as a result we make it true—it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. https://bissellcentre.org/about/
