Downtown Toronto's Centre for Social Innovation has a mission: to 'spark and support new ideas that are tackling social, environmental, economic and cultural challenges'.
Working with the centre is the Urbanspace Property Group, focused on the preservation and restoration of Toronto's historic and architecturally notable buildings - with the aim to offer commercial spaces for the creative sector.
