Cowork Collection: Centre for Social Innovation

Our next Cowork Space we would like to share with you is from Toronto, Ontario. The Centre for Social Innovation has about 350 members and reaches out to change-agents. Their mission is to spark and support new ideas that are tackling the social, environmental, economic and cultural challenges we face today.

Toronto's Centre for Social Innovation is a nonprofit organization and has been growing since 2004. Not only do they have a strong online presence with a dynamic web site, facebook page and Twitter profile, they also have a thriving community of social entrepreneurs who are making an impact! Check out the Centre for Social Innovation online to learn more about the unique mission of this cowork space.  

Eli Malinsky, the Director of Programs and Partnerships shared some behind-the-scene photos of the signs they use for thier members as reminders on how to help manage the space. As coworking becomes more common for independent professionals, it is important to see how established cowork spaces like the Centre for Social Innovation manage the day-to-day responsibilities for a successful workspace. These signs, scattered throughout the Toronto space, are good reminders and suggestions for others interested in work place best practices.

Our favorite sign below is the one that reads, "Everyone wants a revolution but nobody wants to do the dishes." How about you? What are some unique messages you've seen in offices about the dishes or other rules that help keep your worplace functioning well? Leave a comment, or share details we can feature for a future post in the Cowork Collection >

The Midas Center Cowork Space strives to learn more about the emergence of the cowork culture. The more we connect with other coworking professionals, the more fascinated we become over the endless styles, stories, benefits and people coworking throughout the world. We would like to share the stories with you as we discover more about how this emerging activity is changing the workplace. 

We hope to showcase one tidbit of cowork spaces throughout the globe and will be sharing them with you in our Cowork Collection. If you would like to see more of the Cowork Collection on cowork spaces, click here >
