ChangeCamp is an event being organized by the Ottawa community to bring together citizens, technologists, designers, academics, policy makers, political players, change-makers and government employees to discuss participatory governance at the municipal level in a web-enabled world.  The key theme of this event is:

 How do we re-imagine government and citizenship in the age of participation?

ChangeCamp is a free participatory web-enabled face-to-face event, which addresses the demand for a renewed relationship among citizens and government.  The mission of ChangeCamp is to innovate how Canadian governments engage with citizens in an age of mass participation on the Internet.  The event aims to develop action plans, for initiatives to improve participation in municipal governance utilizing web-technologies.

ChangeCamp addresses the demand for a renewed relationship among citizens and government. We seek to create connections, knowledge, tools and policies that drive transparency, civic engagement and democratic empowerment.
 
ChangeCamp is a solutions playground open to anyone, where admission and ideas are free. Our mission is to innovate how Canadian governments engage with citizens in an age of mass participation on the internet. We hope to ignite a distributed and self-organizing movement in cities across the country. And this is already being realized in Ottawa, the nation's capital.
 
ChangeCamp Ottawa has a unique advantage. It is taking place in one of the most technologically connected and politically charged environments in the country. The National Capital Region has an area of 5,319 square kilometres and is home to:
