Day 24 in our #FebruaryMonth of Love series has our 24th Love Celebration Post recognizing the concept of “Co-Working”, which supports entrepreneurs, small businesses, independents and all the wonderful members of the Riverside BIA and beyond.
On this day in 2015 – Love for Small Business History is Made, and Major John Tory has proclaimed this to be CoWorking Day in Toronto!
Mayor John Tory Proclamation
Coworking has grown in Toronto, gaining attention from media and other cities from around the world, but more importantly as we come together to share best practices and strengthen the local coworking industry, our spaces are better able to support the entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers, independents, consultants, and small businesses of Toronto.
