The Open Data Awards is a true collaboration, and last night showed why it matters. We’re still feeling the energy from all the sharing, networking, and celebrating. Huge congrats to all our winners, inside and outside the City. You give us a reason to continue the work we do!

Our award winners showcased their projects this week, and it was a night to remember! Seeing the hard work of city staff and the public come to life was incredible. From start to finish, you could see the impact of open data—how it’s created, shared, used to make a difference.

Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.
For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.
Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.
