Free webinar on open data
[From the CALL-ACBD listserv]
Dear friends of open government,
Join us for a webinar on open data! We’ll explore how the history of open data can provide insight into future digital government initiatives. Looking ahead can sometimes require us to look back. As open and digital governments are becoming integral to better services to citizens, it is important to understand what was done in the past, what worked, and what didn’t (and why).
Join our guest speakers, Dr. Tracey Lauriault, a member of the Multi-stakeholder Forum on Open Government, a Carleton academic and an open data advocate, and Jaimie Boyd, Chief Digital Officer for the Government of British Columbia, to explore the following questions:
- How did open data get started in Canada?
- What were some of the major milestones and issues along the way?
- What can we learn from the open data journey to improve future digital government initiatives?
- How can governments (at all levels) leverage open data lessons learned to improve services to Canadians?
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions.
Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) Services will be available for this webinar to increase accessibility for people who are culturally deaf, oral deaf, deafened and hard of hearing.
