A makeover for CSI Spadina

A lot of us feel like we’re a bit worse for the wear from this pandemic, and our beloved CSI Spadina is no exception.

In our time away from the space, the front of our building was tagged heavily, as documented here by CSI member Caryma Sa’d:

We share Caryma’s feeling about both street art and tagging. It was disheartening to see this gorgeous building our community helped us buy looking so grubby. So once we re-opened and invited members back into our spaces, we put a plan in place to clean it up.

Our Community Manager Matt Guthrie and our Facilities Coordinator Katt Grant took on the job, using tools borrowed from CSI member the Toronto Tool Library, who have also re-opened for members.

Here is that team in action:

It was a big talk on a hot day, but it made a dramatic difference. Check out what CSI Spadina looks like now!

Don’t get too attached to the solid black, though. We’ve got some big plans in the works that we think you’ll love! We’ll keep you posted.

If your new normal maybe requires a new space to work, we’d love to hear from you. While we are still not yet able to open to the public, we have a few spots for new members! If you are looking for a safe and welcoming place to work outside of your home, email join@socialinnovation.ca

Who Are Our Community Animators?
Member Stories, Programs
One of the keys to CSI's magic is our Community Animator Program (CAP) and, specifically, the Community Animators themselves! Through this program, we've worked with more than 1,000 exceptional individuals who have each brought a little something different, and a little sparkle, to our spaces. And we're so glad to have had them in our community, because we've learned that each and every one of them has some exceptional talents, skills, and experiences to offer the world!

What Pride Means to Us
Staff
The CSI staff team includes Pride veterans, newcomers, and everywhere in between! This year, as we celebrated Pride in our spaces and with our member community, we turned to our staff team to learn what Pride means to them. Some experienced it for the first time this year and were awash in the joy; others delighted in the fact that Pride remains such a fun celebration decades later. Others noted the increasing corporatization, which draws our attention away from the central premise of Pride - a protest.

Women HIV/AIDS Initiative on Collective Action and Community Change
Member Stories, Reports & Studies
CSI is many things - a coworking space, a non-profit organization, and a launchpad - but, first and foremost, we are a community. A community of innovators, of changemakers, of neighbours, of people putting people and planet first. And the awesome work that our members do, each and every day, never ceases to amaze us! So of course, we do our best to highlight our members whenever possible. Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Molly Bannerman, Director of Women HIV/Aids Initiative (WHAI), a community-based response to HIV and AIDS among cis and trans women in Ontario. Below is an edited summary of our chat, where we discussed the work of WHAI and their latest Collective Action Community Change report.
