Twenty years ago, we explored "what might happen if we share?” And so we shared, and we saw: connections being made, partnerships forming, new ideas and businesses launching, all in the spirit of putting people and planet first. We continue to be in awe of our community, and even more so after our epic Party with Purpose, where we celebrated our 20th anniversary with nearly 500 of our members, alumni, friends, family, and fellow innovators. You've made CSI unlike any other place in the world, and we wouldn't have it any other way. 🧡 Check out the photos and get a full event recap in our latest blog post: https://bit.ly/3A7OpKl Tapestry Community Capital City of Toronto Donorbox Multiverse Computing Cuso International Sustainability Network Newcomer Kitchen Financial Leadership for Artists & Rising Entrepreneurs Professional Corporation Alterna Savings Toronto Tool Library The Depanneur Canadian Centre for Food & Ecology | CCFE Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics North America

Last month, the laneway of CSI Spadina was filled with youth working on a ground mural as part of “Street Mural Day of Action: Community Visions for a Youth Climate Corps”. And it wasn’t just here – all across the country, murals were organized by CSI Member The Climate Emergency Unit (CEU), with support from fellow CSI Member Small Change Fund, to help demonstrate the power and vision of a Youth Climate Corps to Members of Parliament. We spoke with Bushra Asghar, Youth Climate Corps Organizer with CEU, about the Day of Action, what a Youth Climate Corps could look like, and what’s next in their work in our latest blog post: https://bit.ly/3NvW1cN
