Sam Burton will kick off the evening by sharing new research from the Government of Canada’s Canadian Digital Service on how civic tech can help improve government service delivery. Then, we’ll hear from Claudie Larouche, a passionate builder of community tools, who will share how she uses technology to make everyday life easier for parents and families in Ottawa.
