✨ THANK! YOU! Cheryl Willson for an incredible, eye-opening session last night.
It was inspiring to see our community gather at the Saint John Newcomers Centre to discuss how local, human-centered technology can solve real-world vulnerabilities. Cheryl gave us an impactful inside look at how my.SOLIS acts as a secure, consent-based anchor for people when they need it most.

A massive thank you to everyone who showed up, asked fantastic questions, and brought their energy to the room. Special thanks to the Human Development Council for keeping us fed and fueled! 🍕

Some of life's hardest moments come with the hardest conversations 🕊️✨

For our next , Civic Tech Saint John is proud to present Cheryl Willson to introduce my.SOLIS — a consent-based communication platform built right here in Saint John, with humans at the centre.

✨THANK! YOU! Stephany Peterson for an engaging and timely conversation yesterday on what nature, community, and generations of human experience can teach us about the future we are creating together.✨

✨The Future Is Learning From Us✨
What remains when everything we hold in common is stripped away?
Every community carries both wisdom and wounds — shaped by stories, systems, traditions, and lived experience. As we build new technologies and imagine new futures, how do we carry forward what strengthens connection, trust, reciprocity, and hope while interrupting patterns that continue harm and support systemic barriers?

Join complexity scholar-practitioner Stephany Peterson for a conversation on what nature, community, and generations of human experience can teach us about the future we are creating together.

Civic Tech is about Technology + Social Good—this is an event for both.
