While the CSI Starrett-Lehigh is currently celebrating its one-year anniversary, the original [Centre for Social Innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/survival-the-exhibition) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-production-center) to make their entrepreneurial dreams come true. It's not an entrepreneur-only event, of course, the whole family can come along.
