Systems Thinking Ontario is an group centered mostly in Toronto. Meetings (originally in-person, going online during the pandemic, and returning as mixed ever since) for 11 months of each year since 2012.

Much of the activity has been through the support of Graduate Studies at OCADU in downtown Toronto. Affiliates, friends and original sponsors involved faculty and students at University of Toronto and York University.

Upcoming meetings and the history of artifacts are maintained at https://wiki.st-on.org . There's a discussion group (mostly for meeting announcement reminders) at [https://groups.google.com/d/forum/st-on](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/st-on .) .

Civic tech, applying technologies to address local commmunity issues, is making a resurgence. Our local communities are becoming more complex, complicated and nuanced. Our technologies to deal with issues are not keeping pace.

There are many people in local government who work on these problems and want residents to be more engaged. There are many residents who feel disconnected from that work and would like to contribute. This group and event is meant to bring both together to work on local solutions to local problems.

Every month we'll meet at Mahtay Cafe. Come in, grab a beverage, perhaps a snack, and talk about some of the key challenge areas in our community

Housing

Local economies

Transportation

Climate action

Civic Tech Toronto is a vibrant and diverse community of Torontonians engaged in understanding and creating solutions for civic challenges through technology, design, and other innovative means.

We meet every Tuesday to work on projects, hear from thoughtful speakers, and connect with others who care about how technology can improve our communities.

You don’t need to be in tech to join us—everyone’s welcome, no matter your background or experience.

Our events are hybrid: join us in person or online.

This group is for any developer, whoever you are, and whatever language or technology you're familiar with.

Join us if you are interested in testing, DDD, software architecture, clean code, refactoring, challenges of working with legacy code, pairing/mobbing, etc.

As Software Crafters, we improve professional software development skills through practice and helping others learn the know-how.

We do appreciate the following:

Not only working software, but also well-crafted software. Not only responding to change, but also steadily adding value. Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals. Not only customer collaboration, but also productive partnerships.

Looking for the left parts, we found that we needed the right parts.
