Civic hacknight #408 - How good is Toronto's open data? (IN-PERSON)

*This is the in-person registration for this event. To attend virtually via Zoom, please RSVP here.

Topic: How good is Toronto's open data?

• Toronto Open Data will present improvements to its Data Quality Scoring algorithm and interface. The city of Toronto's Open Data Portal stores lots of data - but whether or not this data is any good is a separate topic! The team behind the portal will share more about what 'good' looks like when it comes to data and how to assess it.

Speaker: Mackenzie Nichols

• Mackenzie is a software developer on the City of Toronto Open Data Team. He's been involved in Civic Tech Toronto since 2016.
