Team-Building for the Modern Workplace
A Playground for Grownups That Makes Space for Creativity, Community, and Curiosity
Our Purpose
We believe play is a powerful tool for:
Connection
We believe real inclusion starts with real connection. That means listening deeply, making space for all communication styles, and building environments where people feel safe showing up as themselves.
At Pop CoLab, we’ve seen firsthand how a quiet spark can turn into full-on participation when the setting supports different ways of engaging.
Connection isn’t about fitting in, it’s about being recognized.
Creativity
Play and Creativity is how we break out of rigid systems and reimagine what’s possible. It gives us permission to think differently, play with structure, and find new ways to contribute.
For neurodivergent individuals, creativity isn’t just self-expression, it’s a survival skill and a superpower.
At Pop CoLab, we design experiences that celebrate nonlinear thinking, curiosity, and the courage to create your own path.
Culture & Community
An inclusive culture isn’t a checklist; it’s a mindset. We don’t just accommodate differences; we build with them from the start. That means rethinking how we measure success, structure time, and invite participation. Culture is shaped by who’s at the table and how the space makes them feel.
At Pop CoLab, we’re creating environments where everyone, especially those often left out, can thrive, lead, and help shape what comes next.
Meaningful Experiences
We fuel creativity and connection with play-based experiences designed to bring teams together. From games and DIY workshops to wellness, productivity, and strategic workshops, our expert-led programming makes it easy to engage, create, and grow.
Together, Let's Tailor the Perfect Group Experience

Myckella McElroy
Richardson International Limited
"We had an absolute blast during our recent staff development workshop hosted at Pop! We got to experience the 'Power Of Play' while also coming together to collaborate and learn as a team. The design and layout of the space allowed for focus and fun – while also creating a comfortable environment to push outside of comfort zones and try new things."
Andrew Kussy
Exec. Dir. The Dream Factory
"Working with Pop Colab was such a great experience! Donavan went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. We just told him what we wanted, and he took care of everything, from finding the right team to delivering amazing programming, all within our budget. It saved us so much time and hassle. Pop Colab is definitely on our list for next year!."
Mercy Oluwafemi
The Winnipeg Foundation
I am sold on the Pop CoLab experience, both for our professional team and now I'm thinking "my family would love to spend some time here". For our team there was the genius of moving back and forth between work-based concerns and goals to just plain fun, and I saw the result of that technique come out in the final brainstorm that produced some really great things for our team projects.
