Coworking BC Collective recently launched the 'Coworking Passport' as a way to offer an ultra-affordable way for the people of the Canadian province to test out its many coworking office spaces.
The cost of the Coworking Passport is just $35 and it grants access for passholders to try working for a day in each of the participating offices, such as locations like Beta Collective and The Aviary in Vancouver, as well as others across British Columbia such as Kamloops Innovation or The Network Hub in Nanaimo or Whistler. As Coworking BC Collective describes, "Proceeds from the pass will go to cover administrative costs and additional funds will go to organizing an annual coworking family picnic."
The launch of the pass coincides with Canada Coworking Week, an initiative that celebrates entrepreneurs, freelancers and small businesses, as well as the vibrant co-working scene across the country.
