Saskatchewan's first co-working space was open to the public today in celebration of International Co-working Day. 

The Two Twenty in Saskatoon helps provide self-employed professionals or people working for different employers, with resources they need to be productive in a workplace environment.

More than 140 entrepreneurs, social innovators, and small businesses work at the Two Twenty facility.

According to a spokesperson at The Two Twenty, people working from home may sometimes feel isolated and cut off from the world. They believe working in a co-working space can increase productivity for such self-employed workers.
