10 Carden is an operational shared office/meeting space/collaboration centre, offering citizens, professionals and researchers working within Guelph with a place to gather/work and exchange ideas. We have two part-time Community Collaborateur’s facilitating workshops, supporting member organizations, and animating the space. See photos of our space, and the soft launch at http://flickr.com/photos/10carden
10 Carden is led by Annie O’Donoghue and Julia Grady. The new organization is in the process of incorporating as a not for profit. Our vision is for 10 Carden to become a ‘community hub’ offering not for profit groups, businesses and individuals affordable and accessible shared space. Access will be within a variety of membership packages tailored to suit individual needs. Rates and dates for information sessions to follow. Please email info@10carden.ca to be added to our mailing list.
10 Carden – The Space.
10 Carden has a great store front presence directly across from new City Hall and is perfect for board meetings, large presentations (seating for up to 50), as well as smaller scale meetings and working sessions of 5-6 people as well as collaborative and individual work. Access to this prime location and shared equipment/facilities will help smaller groups with capacity building and let them become more visible in the community.
From Annie and Julia,
“We hope that 10 Carden becomes the place people come together to work for a better Guelph. In co-locating we have better capacity to support one another and work collaboratively when opportunities arise. The project was created in response to groups seeking connectivity. The future hope is that by sharing a space those involved will showcase a true understanding of the diversity, creativity and spirit of innovation that defines Guelph.The community will know it as a place where they can find information, a gathering place and one that hosts great workshops and interesting forums. The enthusiasm shown thus far indicates that there is big demand for this type of collaborative space for change in our city.”
If you, or a member of your group, would like make use of our new space for setting up an part-time office, workshops, board meetings or community presentations, please send a msg to info@10carden.ca and we’ll be sure to invite you to the info session being planned.
Our organizational members are not-for-profits, social enterprises, charitable organizations, and volunteer-based groups working in the social change sector.

Looking for a great place to meet and work?
10 Carden is quickly becoming Guelph’s hub for social change and a dynamic place to work, meet, and launch new ideas. It’s a shared office and meeting space ideal for individuals, not-for-profits, businesses and groups.
Open Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm for drop-in co-working.
Three floors of space available for rental during the day, evenings and weekends.

How do I start?
Please email us any questions: info@10carden.ca.
Amazing place to meet and work!
10 Carden has exposed stone walls, a streetfront window perfect for displays, and great office/meeting space/theatre style setups. It truly is a flexible space. We are building our photo gallery to detail the space. For questions, please email: info@10carden.ca
Co-working
A typical office space for a small business/entrepreneur could range from $300 to $1000 per month. If you’ve looked for office space recently, you’ll find that there aren’t a lot of spaces with great ambiance and location available. When you factor in the other costs you’d typically have – even for a part-time office – like phone, internet, and then equipment infrastructure like the copier/printer/fax/fridge/coffee and tea – co-working at 10 Carden is an obvious choice.
Flexi-coworking
Need a place to work for a couple of hours per day or week? We have flexi-coworking options for $2/hr for members and $3/hr for non-members. Have a cup of coffee or tea while you’re here! (free flexi-coworking until end of 2011).
Rates for space bookings
We have six beautiful rooms available for board meetings, workshops, and seminars. Weekday and afterhours/weekend bookings are available. The cozy Community Room seats up to 50 people and the ambient Heritage Room seats up to 55 theatre-style.
Member Rates:
Meridian Room: $12.50/hr
Community Room: $25/hr
Study: $15/hr
Nook: $12.50/hr
Gathering Place: $18.50/hr
Heritage Room: $35/hr
* Boost rates: Groups with a shoe-string budget get an additional 30% off of one booking per month.
* Heritage Room additional 30% discount: Daily from 9-5 pm for members only.
* Capacity Fund: Established groups can top their bookings to support smaller and less established groups. All donations and proceeds will be used to ensure groups can access 10 Carden and benefit from the networks and resources we provide.
* Collaborating on space bookings: We encourage groups to save money by collaborating when renting space. Example: combining meetings or using one large room for two events where appropriate.
* 10th session on us: Looking for regular monthly meeting space? Book 10 meetings in advance and get the 10th on us.
