Civics Boot Camp

The Civics Boot Camp is an interactive and experiential program engaging people into City Making. It is designed for those who want to know more about how the city works—people who have ideas for positive change but need inspiration, community support and/or knowledge to make it happen.

Working with new contacts and neighbours, participants explore ways to identify and work with local champions about issues they care about. They'll also gain fresh perspectives on interacting with elected officials, city staff, businesses and other civic groups. This year, Synapcity is exploring urban forests, newcomer settlement, and supporting emergency services and shelters in cities.

Civics Boot Camp is a series of six three-hour evening sessions delivered over six weeks using a combination of in-person workshops and online learning. The Fall 2017 session is scheduled to run weekly on Wednesday evenings from October 25 – November 29, 2017 from 5:30 – 9pm at the Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards.

The deadline for applications is Friday, October 6th – don't miss out!
