A Message from the Gorillas

A Message from the Gorillas

January 1, 2019 by Elissa

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.

Elissa, Gracia, Kassem, and Hugh
The Good Gorillas

Good Gorilla Gratitude for 2018!

December 3, 2018 by Elissa

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

December 3, 2018 by Elissa

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.

Diversity + Inclusion at Good Gorilla

November 2, 2018 by Elissa

On October 4, 2018 we had the lovely opportunity to host and take part in Kith+common’s Diversity + Inclusion: Organizational Insights and Tools for a More Inclusive Workplace workshop. This is what we have to say about the event:

“Kith+common brought invaluable conversations to our space. Jessie’s openness and confidence in being vulnerable drew all attention and focus from the participants, which made for easy group participation.
They were professional and engaging with previously uncomfortable subjects, thus giving participants the tools to have open conversations in the workplace about diversity and inclusion.
Our members’ feedback was unanimous where everyone left feeling elated to bring the conversation forward to their own environments.”

Since this workshop, we have added additional fields to our member portal and look for continual feedback from the community to make sure Good Gorilla is Diverse + Inclusive. Let’s be different like others, instead of different from others.

Thank you again, Jessie from Kith+common!

Land Rights Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which Good Gorilla operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
