My Story…
When myself and some colleagues co-founded Synapcity to strengthen local democratic practices, it was a labour of love. We started with meetings in basements and community centres, exploring the idea that a city could only realize its full potential by city-making becoming a collaborative project among residents, businesses and city government. We’ve been on a journey ever since to build the openness and capability to make that vision possible.
As the pandemic reveals fault lines in local democracy in many municipalities, Synapcity’s participatory city-making becomes ever more urgent, even as its own sustainability becomes more challenging. We know Ottawa will change as a result of covid-19. Those changes need Synapcity’s participatory vision.
I’m joining in The Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend to raise funds for Synapcity and I need your help. Please donate what you can. I’ll hike 21km for Synapcity on July 30th. Thanks for stepping up.
