Learn how Ethelo is helping communities make better decisions

Gaming the System to Fight Climate Change

How do you get community members to engage on an issue as complex and polarizing as climate change? Ethelo and the City of London came up with a simple but effective strategy: turn the engagement into a game.

“What we really appreciated was the willingness of the Ethelo staff to experiment and try some new things with us.”

Including 17,000 Residents in a Discussion About Traffic Congestion

The idea of paying to use roads is a contentious one. So when Metro Vancouver residents were being engaged on mobility pricing, Ethelo was used to identify where polarization existed and what areas would likely see widespread support.

“Using Ethelo as the tool for our digital engagement program was crucial.”

Increasing Budget Engagement Participation by 7,750%

When it was time to engage residents on the municipal budget, the Town of Whitby chose Ethelo's Citizen Budget. They used the platform to reach more of the community, find out what really matters to them, and ultimately build a better budget.

“With Ethelo, we were able to demonstrate the value of getting people involved in the municipal decision-making process”
