CivicMeet Vancouver

 Vancouver is an informal meetup that seeks to connect Vancouver area public and private sector civic innovators working to create a more open, engaged civil society. This is a bi-national series of events that originated in San Francisco and one that we hope will become a regular gathering here in Vancouver.

Yuri is the Director of Community Engagement at PlaceSpeak, an online location-based community consultation platform that promotes meaningful dialogue on local issues.
