Civic hacknight #416 - Mapping open shelter spaces (IN-PERSON)

*This is the in-person registration for this event. To attend virtually via Zoom, please RSVP here.

For October 2023, Civic Tech Toronto is focusing on housing. We've invited technologists, advocates, journalists and public servants to share their perspectives on one of Toronto's most pressing issues.

On Oct. 24, we'll be joined by Zachary Donsky. Zach has been leading civic tech projects related to homelessness and housing for years, including Chalmers Cards and Open Shelter Space. He'll share his experience, and discuss his latest effort to track and map shelter availability in Toronto using open source tools.

Join us in person:

• We're meeting at the office of the Ontario Digital Service at 595 Bay St. Suite 1002. Take the elevator to the 10th floor.

About Us:

• Our weekly civic tech hacknights bring together Torontonians (designers, coders, urban planners, government staff, mappers, policy-makers, students, communications strategists, community organizers, and more) who share an interest in making Toronto more responsive, prosperous, sustainable, and equitable through design, tech, and data. Come and be part of it!
