The Robertson Building

We 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.

Bike Week, a salute to bicycle culture, celebrated it's 17th birthday this year. Organized by the City of Toronto and the Toronto Cycling Committee, the event features actions and activities created by organizations and community groups throughout the city. This year on May 30 the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI, Suite 120) joined the festivities by hosting a lunch and learn that covered commuting tips, how to protect your bike, and how to create a bike-friendly workplace.
