The BDC shared the story of how Mark Eaton and the other 2 team members from Alberta-based The Corner Coworking made several changes across their four buildings to lessen their environmental footprint.

Nicely done! If they go further than just energy efficiency, what’s stopping you?

The Optix team asked nine experienced coworking leaders for their best piece of advice for building community in their space.

The leaders who shared advice were Mark Eaton (The Corner Coworking), Steve Krueger (ECOMsquare), Rebecca Brian Pan (Trellis Coworking), Karen Tait (The Residence Coworking), Tori Taylor & Viarni Bright (Bad Company), Michael Mason (Olio Coworking), Maggie Segrich (Sesh Coworking), and Gerarld Vanderpuye (Impact Brixton). They shared where to put 10x effort, involving the neighborhood, making member connections frictionless, creating a unique vibe, events, experiences, passions and starting before you open.
