About The Centre

The Centre for Social Innovation is a social enterprise with a mission to catalyze social innovation in Toronto and around the world. We believe that society is facing unprecedented economic, environmental, social and cultural challenges. We also believe that new innovations are the key to turning these challenges into opportunities to improve our communities and our planet.

CSI is a coworking space, community centre and incubator for people who are changing the world. We provide our members with the spaces, relationships and knowledge they need to turn their ideas into impact.

What is Social Innovation?

At its most simple, a social innovation is a new idea that has been put into practice for the public good.

Our Story

Since we first opened our doors, we’ve learned a few things about how social innovation occurs and how we can facilitate its emergence.

Staff & Board
