And the award goes to...the Centre for Social Innovation (Suite 120 + 400)! For six years now the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) has presented Urban Leadership Awards to groups and individuals who work to improve the quality of life in our cities. CSI's accomplishments were recognized in the City Innovation category - very fitting indeed.
CSI joins the company of other awards recipients such as Doors Open Toronto, which celebrated its tenth anniversary this year on May 23 + 24. The Robertson Building was open for the event and welcomed visitors eager to learn more about the space and community.
The CUI awards will be presented in a ceremony on June 5 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. You can visit www.canurb.com to learn more or purchase tickets. Also have a look at www.socialinnovation.ca for more about what's coming up at CSI.
