ONE-LINER

Solve Canada is a free reporting tool that turns a photo of a neighbourhood problem into a complete report to the city, live in seven Ontario cities.


BOILERPLATE

Solve Canada is a free civic reporting platform serving residents of seven Ontario cities. A resident photographs a problem on their street, the platform writes the report and attaches the location, and it goes to the city's own service channels alongside the ward councillor. Every report then stays on a public map with whatever the city did about it, which is the part residents almost never get to see. Solve Canada was built by Ahmed Nadar, has been carrying resident reports since February 17, 2026, and runs on the cities' own published open data.


FOUNDER BIO

Ahmed Nadar is the founder of Solve Canada. He is a software engineer in Toronto who got tired of swerving around the same pothole, built the reporting tool he wanted to exist, and kept building until seven cities were on it. He writes about the work at ahmednadar.com.
