After driving past the same pothole for months, Ahmed Nadar built a tool that turns one photo into a report the city can act on. This is the story of [SolveTO](https://solveto.ca/), the open data that was there the whole time, and what one reporting platform across every Canadian city could look like.

Ahmed Nadar
Ahmed Nadar is a Toronto resident and the solo builder of [SolveTO](https://solveto.ca/), a civic reporting tool that turns a photo or a few spoken words into a report routed to the city and your councillor. He launched it in Toronto in February 2026 and expanded to Mississauga in May. SolveTO runs on open data the city already publishes, over a million pieces of public infrastructure on one map. He's now chasing the harder question: what would it take to run one platform across every Canadian city.
