- Christine Andrews – Why I LOVE coworking – As the Founder, Owner and Operator of one of Toronto’s top coworking spaces, Acme Works, the global coworking movement is of great interest and importance to me. I spend every day as a member of my community but as the space manager I am also tasked with curating, nurturing, protecting and growing the community. As the global coworking movement expands and grows at a rapid rate I believe it is incumbent upon all participants to protect authentic coworking, the values we share and to collaborate to better facilitate this new way of working.
