About My Civic Voice

A free tool that started with a broken stop sign — and the frustrating realization that most Canadians have no idea who to call when something needs fixing.

The Story Behind This
🛑

It started with a broken stop sign.

A few years ago, I was standing at an intersection near my house. There was a broken wooden stop sign — the kind of thing that's obviously a problem, obviously fixable — and I had absolutely no idea who to contact about it. Was it a provincial traffic issue? Was it municipal, because it's a street sign? I kept thinking about that moment.

Why is this so hard? Why does doing the right civic thing — reporting an issue, contacting a representative, making your voice heard — require you to already know how Canadian government works? Most people don't. I thought I was familiar with the system, but I wasn't sure in that moment.

I sat on that idea for years. Then AI tools became accessible enough that a non-developer could actually build something. So I did. That broken stop sign became My Civic Voice.

What It Does

You enter your postal code, choose the type of issue you're dealing with, and the site tells you which level of government handles it and which representatives you should contact. There are 43 categories and over 350 sub-issues to help you narrow down your exact situation.

Once you've found your representative, you can draft an email directly on the site, copy it, and send it yourself. No account required. No tracking. No ads. No data stored. Free forever.

The site also has a full Learning Centre — 43 bilingual guides explaining what each level of government handles and why — so you leave understanding the system, not just having used it.

Who Built It

My name is Daniel. I live and work in a major Canadian city. I've been involved in community governance and advocacy for years, including serving as a union local president and sitting on community boards.

This is not a political project, a funded initiative, or an advocacy campaign. I built it because I wanted to, because I thought it might help people, and because a broken stop sign bothered me more than it probably should have.

Accuracy & Sources

All jurisdictional content — which level of government handles which issues — has been researched against primary sources including the Constitution Act, federal and provincial legislation, and official government publications. It's been reviewed by someone with years of experience working within those jurisdictions.

📋 Content review statement: Jurisdictional attributions are verified against the Constitution Act, 1867, federal and provincial statutes, and official government sources. Last reviewed: Q1 2026. Reviewed quarterly.
🤖 About the letter generator: The letter drafting tool used AI to generate a starting point based on your issue and representative. That draft is yours to edit — and we encourage you to. A letter in your own words is more effective than a polished template. The words you actually send are always your own.

Still a Work in Progress

This started as a first release but could keep getting better with feedback from real people. If you've used the tool, I'd genuinely like to know:

Feedback from educators, settlement workers, community organizers, and everyday Canadians is what makes this thing actually useful.
