OUR HOSTS SET US APART.

Spaces is unlike any other social network because of the local hosts guiding
each space.

Area residents who are passionate and knowledgeable about the space they host
help to facilitate thoughtful discussions with our members.

your availability to contribute to a space and any questions you may have about
hosting.


WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

SPACES is an ambitious experiment in revolutionizing how we all connect by
offering people a local, community-powered social network.

For too long, local news outlets have watched from the sidelines as their deeply
rooted connections to the community were overshadowed by large online platforms.
It's time we reclaim our place, not by emulating these companies but by offering
something they've moved away from: genuine community engagement and support.

In recent years, the ethos of social media has shifted dramatically. These
platforms have strayed from their initial promise of fostering community and
nurturing relationships. Instead, they've become echo chambers, focusing on
disseminating content that, while engaging, often lacks relevance and fails to
enrich our connections with the world around us. This shift has not only
weakened the fabric of our communities but also eroded the foundations of
democracy and civil discourse.

Enter SPACES: a haven for local discussions, curated by those who know them
best—local experts and professional journalists. Our platform is more than just
a social network; it's a commitment to reviving the lost art of community
engagement. By fostering safe, civil, and meaningful interactions, SPACES aims
to strengthen the bonds between neighbours, reignite local passions, and rebuild
the trust that has been eroded by impersonal and divisive platforms.

And the best part? SPACES is integrated with our local news sites, leveraging
the reach and engagement of our existing large local audiences. Rooted in our
local newsrooms and woven with the topics and interests that define our
hometowns, it offers a revival of the heart of communal interactions: spaces
shared discussing what is happening in our neighbourhoods.

Whether you're passionate about gardening, family life, the direction of the
community or the intricacies of life downtown, we have a space for you. A space
for exchanging ideas, asking advice, and gaining valuable information about the
communities we live in.

This isn't just another project for us; it's a pivotal step toward mending the
social fabric of our communities. Join us as we embark on this journey to create
not just a platform, but a movement - one that prioritizes people, community,
and democracy.

Our pilot phase kicks off this summer, with a broader rollout planned across
Canada in late 2024.

Stay tuned for what promises to be the most significant and impactful endeavour
we've ever undertaken.

In the meantime, join the waitlist!
