May 2: Tune In: For A Better Toronto

We were excited to partner again this year with Tune In, a fundraiser that brought together music, art, and community to support the social infrastructure needed to build a Toronto that everyone can be proud to call home. This year was also the launch of the Lighthouse Collective, a project that is building pathways to climate action by supporting artists, youth, and climate organizations with access to space, skills, and connection to each other and the broader community. And all event proceeds went towards supporting CSI Member The Youth Harbour‘s Climate ShareSpace. It was a fantastic evening of celebration, arts, and community! 📸 by Charlie Nyiti

May 9: Innovator Drinks: Meet & Greet

For the May edition of Innovator Drinks, our classic networking event, we hosted a Meet & Greet with the experts who are part of Skill Share! A new feature on CSI Connects, Skill Share provides you with 30-60 minutes of free support from a fellow CSI Member. We had a great time connecting over snacks and drinks. CSI Members, check out Skill Share on CSI Connects!

Our Weekly Rituals

To celebrate Asian Heritage Month, our Community Animators have been sharing themed foods at our rituals! This month, we’ve enjoyed Vietnamese iced coffee, homemade dumplings, congee, and taho, amongst many other dishes. And while every Salad Club, Get the Scoop, Coffee Chats, and Bagel Bonding is always delicious, this month has been a special treat. Here’s a handful of photos from rituals throughout May!
