Bicycle Friendly Business Award

Filed under: | |

Bicycle Friendly Business Awards cake cuttingWe don’t usually do this, but we are going to toot our own bike horn a little because we are very excited to have been recognized by the City of Toronto with a Bicycle Friendly Business Award for Best Large Business.

The award was presented to Urbanspace Property Group and the Centre for Social Innovation (Suite 120 + 400) in a ceremony on October 4. In a collaborative effort between us and our community-minded tenant CSI, the award was granted based on infrastructure and programs in place such as the bike racks in the basement of the building and CSI’s new bike share program (see more about this on the opposite page).

The awards are presented each year to businesses and organizations who find ways to encourage their employees and clients to cycle.

We are always keen to hear any creative ideas you may have to make 215 Spadina even more bike friendly, so please don’t hesitate to contact us with suggestions.
