🏠 Starting tomorrow (Oct. 10), we're kicking off a month of themed hacknights on #housing. 🏠 It's one of the most pressing issues in Toronto, and we're inviting technologists, advocates, journalists and public servants to share their perspectives. meetup.com/civic-tech-tor…
Does anyone have an example of a government adopting a civic tech project that was started outside of the public sector?
You could write a whole book starting with this screenshot.
📣 @CivicTechTO is hosting a hacknight tomorrow night! Can't make it in-person but want to see how your skills can contribute to social good initiatives? @CivicTechTO's weekly meetups are hybrid with options to participate 100% virtually. 👉 bit.ly/45bPPgI #CivicTech
Bianca is a national treasure. "If people are so hungry to think about tech moonshots (cringe), imagine the power of organizing government data and information and people around problems rather than ministries and divisions." 💯
lol (What talking about administrative burdens looks like when you pull zero punches.)
Our summer of awesome hacknights continues! 🏄🏾 On July 25, co-organizer Alex Olson will share his data analysis of the recent mayoral by-election! Join us to learn what data can tell us about shifting voter attitudes in the city. meetup.com/civic-tech-tor…
SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher slams Hollywood execs: 'They plead poverty, that they’re losing money left and right, when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their CEOs. It is disgusting — shame on them.'
I'm at @CivicTechTO's 400th hacknight, brainstorming what we want the city to look like 400 hacknights (8 years) from now. It's been ages since I've been in a room with so many excited conversations happening at once.
After they shared the stage in 2022, @davidmcraney and @MarinaNitze recorded a podcast on how to fix bureaucracy by hacking its networks of human behavior from the inside bit.ly/hackingbureauc…

Hi! I hope you'll join us next week to imagine what #civictech and civic engagement in Toronto could (should?) look like in the future.
Next week's hacknight is a big one: #400! In place of our regular hacknight, we'll be running a one-night only workshop -- in-person and online -- to get participants thinking big about the city we'd hope to live in, in 2031.
I'm hearing reports of riots in Rosedale and Forest Hill.
Just because you qualify for government assistance doesn't mean it's easy to get or keep it. I spent months profiling Code for America's work to make benefits easier to get, a seemingly small problem with huge ramifications: bloomberg.com/news/features/…
The leader of the Conservative Party: "the CBC doesn't provide anything that people can't get from the marketplace" Canada's largest private TV broadcaster (net worth $41-billion): "hey is it cool if we stop doing The News"
Lol. Come for the endorsement from a convicted felon, stay for the referring to himself in the third person.

Cannot exaggerate this. It’s really something to see. Never seen anything like it. The establishment drove Toronto hard into a ditch & they wont take responsibility for it. Remember that.
