Hey, uh don't really love how you let teenagers smoke and get tattoos inside your event space. I tried contacting you and asking to ensure this event was 19 plus. You confirmed it was. It was not. You said there would be security, and I feel like this amount of underage folks wouldn't be able to attend what was an alleged 19 plus event. The producers of the actual event do not allow comments on their posts unless they are apart of the team with which they work and collaborate. This enables teens to see the hype for the event but leaves them unable to voice their excitement. This is an unusual behaviour for any group looking to promote a brand, whether it be clothing, jewelry, food, or music.

I believe this is dangerous.

I am not trying to be an absolute buzz kill but this is a very effective way to get young people to potentially join a group which may not have their best interests at heart or worse.

I have been to raves and stuff when I was underage as well but at least that was able to be marketed as 16+. So I don't know why this event, event space, and promoters of this event cannot be more honest and clear. What are they hiding?

Anyway I included some screen shots from a promotional video by one of the promoters. (A gentleman who approaches young people in the rideau center and in the market asking them quiz questions. ) I assume he also word of mouths the events during that time as well much like a rave promoter. Instead of colored paper flyers it is instagram quizzes.

I find this whole situation sketchy as hell. And if anyone is curious just try getting any substantial information for anything from @motioncru @moshpitcentralofficial .

I'm not ready for these kids to be the next netflix truecrime documentary...

So yeah...one star.

Good vibes, great potential. Food available makes it shine.

Too bad this space is so far away from my hometown Toronto. I know a lot of people that would utilize it if it was located in Toronto. Perfect for any and all events or special occasions.

Emile has always been a great local small business owner. Supports and helps everyone he can. If you need a boardroom for a day or a larger training area in Ottawa, call Emile.

I was lucky enough to visit Collab Space a few weeks ago and I have one word: WOW! The atmosphere is welcoming, the area is open and spacious. There is something for everyone from comfy couches, to working desk areas, to a patio deck, a restaurant on-site, and the list goes on. This space is perfect for anyone who wants to get out of their dining room home office/sweat pants and just COLLAB!

I'm a member at Collab Space and I love it. Fresh out of College and no idea where I was heading, I decided to become a member to start my own business. I've been a member for only two months now and the stuff I've learned is incredible. Thanks Collab Space and thanks Emile and Blair for how much effort you put in to making everyone succeed! P.S. I had so much fun at Entrepreneurs in Action, and will definitely bring my friends to the next one!

I have been a member at Collab Space for 7 months now and I have never seen a more collaborative community of entrepreneurs. One of the things that has impressed me the most is the integrity, sharing and genuine caring for all the members. Collab provides lots of value and helps entrepreneurs to succeed. I am happy to be a part of such a great community and helping others as I have been helped in many ways.

What a wonderful building! I don't think there is anything like it here in Ottawa. Emile & Blair take a personal interest in everyone's success that I certainly appreciate. There is a gym, table tennis, a huge event space and a variety of cool work spaces. I meet new people every week and I couldn't have asked for a better place to grow my business. Thank you Collab Space!
