Civic Tech Toronto is bringing together an enthusiastic pack of people, to work together, learn together and create civic tech. There are several ways you can get involved in Civic Tech TO!
To contact us, please email hi@civictech.ca or join us on Slack.
Attend our weekly meetups
The easiest way to get involved is to come out to one of our weekly meetups! We meet every Tuesday online from 7pm to 9pm. We start off with a presentation and Q&A from a person or organization doing interesting civic tech work. We then split into breakout groups to work on our various civic tech projects. After 9pm, we often hang out socially at a local bar or restaurant. The best way to keep up to date about our events is by joining our Guild group.
Become a volunteer organizer
Civic Tech TO is an unincorporated organization and completely volunteer-run — we are always looking for more volunteers to help us keep the weekly meetups running smoothly. If you’re interested in helping out with a monthly meetup role, such as ordering samosas, taking care of AV, emceeing, or greeting attendees, please send a message in the #organizing-open channel on Slack, or chat with us at a meetup in person!
Speak at one of our events
If you’re interested in presenting at one of our meetups, please fill out this form or get in touch with us at hi@civictech.ca to set up a chat. We usually book speakers about one month in advance. Take a look at our past meetups to get an idea of what our previous speakers have talked about.
Provide a venue
Our meetups switch venues on a monthly basis. The venues need to be able to accommodate approximately 50-80 people and have adequate AV equipment (projector and microphone). If your organization would be interested in hosting a month of Civic Tech meetups, please fill out this form or contact us at hi@civictech.ca!
