ODX is travelling across Canada to pinpoint open data best practices

The results of our meetings and roundtables will form the backbone of a Blueprint to guide data suppliers as they launch data portals. The full trip itinerary will be available soon so make sure to check codx.ca for trip updates.
In each city we’ll be hosting a roundtable to hear from companies and municipalities. Interested in attending?

Open data: The forecast is good
When we ask Siri for a weather report, or flip to The Weather Network to get a view of the latest snowstorm barrelling across the continent, we are unconsciously consuming data. We don’t think about the facts, figures and measures that go into producing the forecast that tells us to wear a toque. But behind the phone apps and television broadcasts is a complex, fascinating world of weather data providers.
