a little bit about CivicTech
CivicTech focuses on using technology to enhance how we connect with our local
communities and governments. It’s
about making civic interactions and services more efficient and effective.
Civic Tech
Waterloo Region was founded in
July 2017. We're a community group that brings together people from different sectors
and industries to actively solve issues facing our local community using design and
technology.
We were inspired by similar organizations like CivicTechTO, Beta City YEG, and Code for
America Brigades.
hacknights with civictechwr
We meet every two weeks, alternating between speaker sessions and hacknights. Our speakers are community leaders such as someone from a local non-profit, government, industry, or any enaged citizen - what matters is that they have something inspiring or educational to share with our group. During both our speaker sessions and our hacknights, we also provide space and time for people to come and work together on civic tech projects. Join us at our next hacknight!
