  • Pulses: Weekly Conversations that Matter
    Thursday Nov 14, 2024 at 6:00pm (series runs until Nov 28, 2024)

    Introducing Pulses, a new offering from Synapcity, the hosts of Ottawa's Civics Boot Camp. 

    Be a part of weekly conversations that matter. With local chapters launching in locations across Ottawa, these weekly discussions will not only inform but allow you to have your say on key issues such as climate, housing, transit, arts, inclusion and more. 

    Perfect for anyone looking to engage with their community in a fresh way, these spaces are made for you to build and connect with your neighbours.

    Each of these small group sessions will be guided by a trained facilitator. Whether it's a mini Boot Camp, a guest speaker session, a book club talk or an open dialogue, these sessions provide a space focused on community building and fostering local connections.

    Coming this fall, don’t miss Pulses - the newest city-making program from Synapcity.
