While the CSI Starrett-Lehigh is currently celebrating its one-year anniversary, the original Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto, Canada is celebrating its ten-year anniversary with the CSI Festival of Social Innovation. That's something to shout about!
The Festival of Social Innovation takes place at the CSI Annex on Bathurst Street on May 31 and is free. It will join the community with its over 700 projects that now utilize CSI as a co-working space to make their entrepreneurial dreams come true. It's not an entrepreneur-only event, of course, the whole family can come along.
If you'd like to get more information, take a look at the Facebook event page and RSVP to receive updates on the big day of celebration.
