How the best ideas win

Saultites care about our community. A LOT. In just one month, we've cast 659 votes and made 78 comments on 60 ideas and questions for the future of Sault Ste. Marie. Ideas like:

• A store that sells local agri-food products.
• Changing Gore street into a Mackinaw-style street for locals and tourists.
• A hackerspace for the Sault

Add to that ideas from election candidates like turning Northern Breweries into a multi-use arts/commercial venue and we've got a lot to talk about.

Imagine if you could have real input into what our community, guided by Council should focus on now and in the future. That is what these Election Cafés are all about. Pitch your ideas against others, work with citizens and candidates to prioritize what matters most. Experience how candidates can work with others on issues that matter *before the election*. And have lots of fun doing it (is that allowed?)

You have two chances for some serious play:

• (TOMORROW) Meet online Wed Oct 13, 7 pm. Play Innovation Games® online. Read more. Starts at http://changecamp.ca in a live chat. Register ahead if you can, or just show up at 7.
• (NEXT MONDAY) Meet over food and wine at Art Gallery of Algoma. Candidates and citizens gather in a café-style setting, having short conversations around tables. We call it civic speed dating. Read more / register

Several mayoral, ward and trustee candidates have signed up. Now is your chance to talk about what matters to you and the Sault in a unique, forward-thinking format.
