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.

120 minutesMedical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Death Café gives you the chance to discuss and destigmatize this topic in a safe, non-judgmental space. While MAiD became legal in Canada in June 2016, it remains a complex and deeply personal issue, with many people who seek access to MAiD or their loved ones feeling stigmatized and unsupported. This is a space to share your thoughts, feelings and emotions around MAiD, to discuss the emerging laws on MAiD and mental health, and to talk about the impact MAiD has on families and loved ones.
Drop-ins welcome, but registration preferred.
Ottawa Public Library is partnering with the Home Hospice Association to offer death cafés with various themes. Check out the OPL website for upcoming death cafés.

Sorry this event and its waiting list are full
Do you love to write? Is writing the air you breathe, or is there ink in your veins?
The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a collection of people who love to write.
We meet weekly to read from text we have written on our own time during the previous week, and engage in other writing activities.
This is not a class on writing, or a workshop for manuscripts. Instead, we are people who love to write and share our works.
There are those who mostly listen rather than write, those who write prolifically but only share with the group, and a broad spectrum in between.
If your interest is in the love of writing, this group may be for you.
