Giving this one a bit of a bump. The various municipal governments collaborate to host Engage Waterloo Region, "a one-stop site for online engagement opportunities across Waterloo Region." I personally haven't used the tool. Grass-roots innovation exists in Waterloo Region if you know where to look. It can be something as minor as the weekly neighbourhood produce stand in my neighbourhood that becomes a hub during the summer months, or larger like the various Porch Parties that have sprung up over the past few years. The Festivals and Events circuit is constantly evolving as each municipality explores different ways to get people into public spaces.
