A plain-language guide to Ontario's caregiver and disability support programs — written by someone who has actually used them. Born out of three years caring for my father after his ALS diagnosis.
A shared online home for Ottawa's scattered movement community — slacklining, climbing, juggling, acro, contact improv, parkour, and everything that lives between.
Civic technology is not a category of product — it is a posture. It means choosing the people who have the least access to resources as the design constraint, not the afterthought. The work is slower. The feedback loops are longer. The success metrics are harder to measure. And it matters more.
Plain language is not about dumbing things down. It is about respecting the reader's time, cognitive load, and the reality that most people encounter complex systems when they are already at capacity. Writing plainly is a form of care.
