Sometimes it takes us longer than usual to find out about some of the creative things our tenants are up to. For instance, last fall at ArtezInterAction, an annual one day conference exploring the world of social media, online fundraising, and digital best practices, Artez Interactive (Suite 500) launched the first mobile fundraising App for the iPhone. The framework can be customized for a particular cause and managed by Artez drastically reducing the overall cost for non-profits. The App allows charities to access donors quickly and efficiently wherever they happen to be.

Our bi-annual E-Waste Collection Week is coming up on April 25 - 29. You can help us divert a considerable amount of electronic waste from landfill by participating in this initiative (we know some of you have been saving up your items). The items collected are reused where possible and remaining pieces either recycled or disposed of safely.

As usual, the collection area will be in the basement outside the freight elevator. Please stack your donations neatly in this area and it's helpful if you can label things as working or not working - this way items may get reused without leaving the building. We will send out a memo closer to the date with a list of acceptable items.

A hint of spring is in the air (at least the snow is becoming rain) and this issue of the Pipeline has a little bit of everything for the season. We have bikes and bike sharing, a little spring cleaning with our upcoming e-waste collection week, some great events to coax you out of hibernation, and learning opportunities to get new ideas blooming.

Tides Canada (Suite 360) named Jane's Walk (Suite 400) one of their Tides Top 10 for 2010. Each year Tides compiles a list of the most innovative and forward-thinking initiatives that inspire people to take action, to think in new ways, and to make the world a better place. Jane's Walk was chosen for it's promotion of walkability not just here in Canada but worldwide motivating 10,000 citizens to come out and walk their cities.

The next Jane's Walk is coming up on May 7 + 8, visit their website to find out what walks are being held in your city.
