How can we help government become more open and responsive?
How do we as citizens organize to get better outcomes ourselves?
These questions form the basis of a conference called Vancouver ChangeCamp happening on June 20. A few weeks ago I sat down with Reilly Yeo and Steve Williams, two of the organizers, to talk about the event and public engagement more generally. I begin this episode with a short reflection on the recent STV referendum because, after all, voting is the predominant form of citizen engagement.
