If you're in a state of transition professionally, it's never been a more opportune time to launch a startup. Hence, we're very much looking beyond the pandemic as part of our coworking expansion plans given the pent-up demand for suburban coworking. Stay tuned!
As we all adapt and pivot in these most challenging times, we've stay true to our mission of redefining the future of work and learning with a focus on positively impacting the lives of business leaders and learners. Hence, it's never been more exciting and busier time in the history both MindShare Workspace and Learning companies. #Grateful to our partners and clients! On the learning side of our business, we're honoured to highlight a few of our clients we've been working with in, Lego International; Government of Canada, Consulate in Miami; and the Canadian Association of Publishers, to name a few.
I hope you enjoy this month's Canadian CoWorker issue. We always welcome your comments and upcoming events. Special thanks to our members, the City of Mississauga and Erin Mills Town Centre management for their support to enabling us to stay open and safe.
