Aside from Canada Day, Waterloo, Ont. has something else to celebrate today – the launching of a new crowdfunding platform specifically designed for citizen engagement purposes that is backed by city hall.
The new Web site, iFundWaterloo.ca, has partnered with the City of Waterloo to be the first site of its kind in Canada. The site will be used to fund and promote the needs of Waterloo residents and encourage civic engagement around different projects. One project looking to raise money at the site launch is the design and building of a new community park, complete with a modern and safe playground and challenge courses.
