We advocate for technology to serve public good.

Civic tech, applying technologies to address local commmunity issues, is making a resurgence. Our local communities are becoming more complex, complicated and nuanced. Our technologies to deal with issues are not keeping pace.

There are many people in local government who work on these problems and want residents to be more engaged. There are many residents who feel disconnected from that work and would like to contribute. This group and event is meant to bring both together to work on local solutions to local problems.

Every month we'll meet at Mahtay Cafe. Come in, grab a beverage, perhaps a snack, and talk about some of the key challenge areas in our community

• Housing

• Local economies

• Transportation

• Climate action

Civic Tech Toronto is a vibrant and diverse community of Torontonians engaged in understanding and creating solutions for civic challenges through technology, design, and other innovative means.

We meet every Tuesday to work on projects, hear from thoughtful speakers, and connect with others who care about how technology can improve our communities.

You don’t need to be in tech to join us—everyone’s welcome, no matter your background or experience.

Our events are hybrid: join us in person or online.
