Civis4Reform

Building a Network for Reform from the Ground Up

POLITICIANS AREN'T LISTENING. REFORM IS NEEDED. ARE YOU READY?

Your Voice Matters - Join Us

Our Purpose

The political party system has failed us. Civic duty and citizen engagement is the foundation for political reform.  Civis4reform is your way to be a part of a pro-active solution to take our country back.  

In communities across the country, citizen-led councils will be established, forming a national network of active Canadians. 

The road to reform begins with each of us. Community Accountability and Transparency Councils, or CATCs, is your place to have your voice heard.

Our purpose is to reform the political system of our country, fostering a culture of civic engagement across all levels of society.  

Our Action Plan

Civis4reform is a national network of citizen-led councils.

Our action plan is to engage across all segments of society to bring about reform in our political system. 

The first priority is to establish CATCs councils in all 338 Federal Ridings.  By establishing councils in communities across the country, the voice of citizens will be heard.

Once councils are established, the first phase of the Action Plan is to begin engaging with our elected representatives.  Citizens will once again play an active role in deciding what is in the best interest of our own communities.

With a revitalized culture of civic engagement Civis4Reform will introduce Civis Assemblies across the country where true debate can take place.

The reform of our political and institutional systems will place citizens at their rightful place in the governance of their communities and the country. 

To influence the future and bring about political reform we must become active citizens.  

We must engage now. 

"Alone, we can do so little; together , we can do so much."- Helen Keller

Our Model - A Big Idea

The vision we are advancing addresses the many gaps currently present in Canada’s existing governance model. 

Our elected representatives have become unresponsive, having concluded they can govern without the “inconvenience” of consulting with their constituents.  

This must change. It is the civic duty,  the responsibility of all of us,  the citizens,  to ensure it does.

“The administration of government, like a guardianship, ought to be directed to the good of those who confer, not of those who receive the trust.” – Cicero

While respecting accomplishments the existing system has delivered over the past 155 years, the Three Pillars Model aims to roll out a full system upgrade, effectively inverting the power pyramid to place citizens in their rightful position, at the top.
