We Have More ROOM

Members asked we delivered. Another new ROOM phone booth was added to our main space, and it’s been put to good use! Soundproof and well-ventilated, it’s the perfect spot for private calls, podcasting, recordings, or getting away from your desk. It’s first-come, first-serve but luckily with two phone booths, there’s almost no waiting time — just another perk of our co-working space.

Make sure to stop by Good Gorilla for a tour and experience it yourself! When you come to see the space, you are welcome to stay for the day.

Three Cheers for Third Year

by

One year older, one year wiser. Good Gorilla has continued to grow and adapt in the last three years, and we cannot believe the milestones we’ve overcome. This community we have and are continuing to shape, could not have happened without all our friends, families, members and neighbours. As a thank you, April 1st was filled with celebratory cakes, pizza, drinks, and giveaways.

We are grateful for everyone who has invested time in Good Gorilla. Whether it be one month or one year, thank you for journeying with us.

To another fantastic year together!?

Welcoming our Community Managers

by

Good Gorilla is very pleased to announce that we have two new Community Managers, Abby Ho and George Dover!

Abby previously was a member here with Project 40 Collective and is a visual artist/community arts organizer. While George is an aspiring comedian/writer working on a podcast/webcomic project. He use to run Rover’s Dog Walking Tests out of the Good Gorilla Space.

Since joining us less than a month ago, they have been adapting into our community with full speed. Thanks for giving them the warmest smile while welcoming George and Abby to the jungle!

A Message from the Gorillas

It has been a little over a year since we’ve doubled the square footage of the space. Once we tore down the wall of the old meeting room, there was an instant growth of amazing individuals (and dogs) from various industries. New-comers were welcomed with open arms. Former members came back with stories and treats of their travels. Ideas were exchanged. We’ve observed several collaborations take place while creating new opportunities in this shared-economy.

We are excited for the new year. We will be having new community managers enroll in the first quarter. We will also have a design intern join us to keep the space a welcomed, well-designed creative space for you!

Our goal has always been to create an environment for creatives to create their best work. Everyone in and around our space has contributed to this.

Members come and go, but the relationships we have built in the last three years are timeless. This community is built on friendship, kindness, support, and feedback. It is our privilege to be part of this ever growing family.

We hope you pass some lovely holidays, refresh, and come back for another exciting year.

Good Gorilla Gratitude for 2018!

by

This year flew right by. At Good Gorilla, we are so happy to have wonderful members, generous sponsors, and many, many resourceful partners. You all make the space truly amazing. We may only be 2.5 years young, but our community is strong and continuously growing.

Highlights of the year:

  • Ongoing support from Scotch to all of our members that needed a break and good puppy love
  • Potluck lunches, wine tastings, thirsty Thursdays, game nights, and many more events where all of our members gathered and exchanged
  • The support from all our members – you truly make coming to work as a freelancer an exceptional experience

The ROOM-ie Addition

by

Our new phonebooth from ROOM is in hot demand. It is soundproof, well-ventilated, sustainable, and portable around our space. The only complaint we have heard so far is that our members want a second one!

This is the perfect getaway for private calls, audio or video recordings. It is the perfect accompaniment to any coworking or open workspace.

Make sure to stop by Good Gorilla for your tour to see what the fuss is all about. Book a tour today, stay for the day and try it for yourself.
