Key Quotes:

"I've been riding 58 years tells you something. A, I'm a good defensive rider, but B, I've been blessed." - Deb Grey on Vancouver Island motorcycling safety

"What we're really interested in creating is a space where you can put your head down, you can get your work done when you want to, but when you come up for air, take a break, you've got the chance to find something that doesn't exist if you're just at home." - Dan King on Spark House Coworking's community vision
