@simonaramkisson I think Waterloo should be its own issue, and probably these other cities too, so you can track specific conversations with each of them. Let me know if you need help with that.

I'd also suggest for these conversations overall: Decision Maker - @chrislarry33 Driver/Owner - @simonaramkisson Consulted - @ldecoursy Informed - Meghan

Thanks Lainie, will change.

@simonaramkisson Interested in learning more about Waterloo and how we might help them pull the Year of Code off. Code you connect @kathrynmeisner and see how this might work?

[simonaramkisson]

@chrislarry33 Kathryn already pulled into conversation currently, still collecting information from Stephanie and having a call with her team to see best opportunities moving forward. Call scheduled for this Monday, will loop in @kathrynmeisner to join and provide full update here.

Love it, thanks @simonaramkisson curious to see how this might come together

@chrislarry33 Steph is super keen and organized, definitely big potential in Waterloo especially as the city is working to become the best city in the world. They are literally trying to be better than Toronto (no one is better than TORONTO)
