Work

Private or shared, permanent or part-time, the Centre for Social Innovation serves Toronto’s social mission community and its visitors through a variety of work spaces. Members have access to a beautiful and fully functioning office space, including high-speed internet, meeting rooms, photocopy and fax machines, kitchen facilities, audio-visual equipment, mailboxes and more.

We’re located in a bright and beautifully restored factory warehouse space that’s been decked out with the latest in eco-design, from indoor bicycle parking and a rooftop garden to solar water heating and a Toronto first: a 250 square foot living and breathing bio-wall.
