Synapcity
Ottawa’s Organization for Civic Engagement. Synapcity is a community of citymakers collaborating to make Ottawa the best city it can be. In 2011, inspired by a visit to Citizens Academy in Syracuse, New York, Manjit Basi and Ken Victor convened a small group of people made up of Caroline Andrew, Maureen Molot and Judith Maxwell. They all shared a vision for Ottawa, that of inspiring progressive dialogue for positive change between the City, its people and civil society, and of a healthy and happy city where people collaborate, share ideas and take action to make it better.
