Hi Trevor
Your link to the blog post isn't working. Tried it on 2 different
browsers, thinking that might be an issue, but neither worked.
I'm in Toronto, but followed Innovate Niagar for some time while I was
self-employed so have some sense of trends in the Niagara Region and
connections at Niagara College.
So even though I'm employed full-time now managing the Co-op function
at George Brown College (student/co-op employment, in this case).
I still am very interested in the coworking movement, entrepreneurship,
the sharing economy, disruptive technology, the maker economy,
city-building, sustainability, etc. etc. etc.
When you can...
Thanks
Michael

Hey everyone,
When we were developing the business plan for our space two years ago,
a prospective member asked us if we had considered setting Cowork
Niagara up as a co-operative. We didn’t know what that was, so we
checked it out.
It was the best thing that we could have done. We’re the only
co-operative coworking space in english-speaking Canada (there’s one
other in Quebec). I’m now convinced that if more spaces use this
model it will help create stronger, more resilient coworking
communities. I’m sharing this in the hopes that it piques your
collective curiosity.
I wrote a post about it on our newly-launched blog. If any of you have
any questions about this, feel free to ask.
