The Open Data Society of BC relies on the annual support and generosity of its members to function. We're a very lean organization - all the work we do is done through volunteer time, and our membership fees go to practical operations like web hosting and this meetup group.
If you've been to one of our events this year, please consider joining the Society. Annual Individual Memberships are only $10. This is more than just a membership, joining the Society is a vote of confidence for Open Data in BC and an investment in the future of open data access.
