We're grateful for everything Khulud Baig offered to the OCLT as a recent Board member. Thank you! As we approach our spring AGM, we have several open Board seats. Watch for our Call for Board members, or reach out to the OCLT today to learn more!

Continuing on with our Civics Boot Camp Testimonial Series: Big thanks to Bettina Vollmerhause, co-founder of the Ottawa Tool Library for her kind words. The program is still taking applications until 12 noon on Friday! Apply here: synapcity.ca/boot-camp/ @yowtoollibrary

Our first stop was @MHOttawa in #centrepointe, that is prepared to scale up and, at a 95% success rate, settle refugee claimants in permanent market housing. Approx. 35% people coming to shelters are refugees. This model could greatly reduce the pressure of our housing crisis.

@Ottawa_Traffic Hi - can you verify that this is indeed set to open next week? The signs by it say closed until "Fall 2023"

Update: (MTO) Ramp closed between 417 W/B and Greenbank/Pinecrest - construction. From 11pm Monday, November 1 2021 to 5am Thursday, August 31 2023. #otttraffic

@geoffmulgan Exciting. Thank you for writing this (and also for sharing it freely)

I couldn’t find many books on arts in political & social imagination, so I wrote one, which might spark outrage, agreement or at least creative sparks. It’s free to download for 2 weeks before going to print. cambridge.org/core/elements/…

@TraceyLauriault That's a good requirement! Gotta get my act together and start something new, would love to interact with you and some of your students again

@TraceyLauriault @yowcivictech Have not in a long while. What's up?

Today, we’re launching the Investigative Journalism Foundation. We’re building a new journalism model. Data-driven. Radically transparent. Laser-focused on serving the public and speaking truth to power. Here’s what you need to know🧵: theijf.org

@steph_percival Welcome back, Steph!

It feels appropriate on my first day back to catch up on what's current in the world of experimentation at this afternoon's CSPS employee-led experimentation talk. (Hi, @danutfm!)

I'm excited to moderate a panel discussion next week for the Canada School of Public Service. "Creating space for employee-led experimentation" will bring together folks from @DemosHelsinki as well as from the Government of Canada. Register & details: lnkd.in/gckCYHf8

It's nice to see inspiring leaders are still around. nytimes.com/2022/09/14/cli…
