Data Challenge Solution Showcase

IWD Data Challenge 2026
For this year's data challenge, we asked you to explore and analyze data from your communities. Whether that meant digging into datasets about Ottawa, Gatineau, the broader National Capital Region, or another place that feels like home, the goal was to uncover community-focused insights. If you'd like more background on the challenge itself, you can find the full details in the original event listing or on our webpage.

Join Us for the Showcase Event
We're excited to celebrate the hard work and creativity of everyone who took part in this year's challenge. Join us for a fun, casual hybrid event on Tuesday, April 28th, where participants will walk us through their submissions. It's also a great oppotuity to connect with others in the city who are passionate about data, learning, and community!

Event Details
This event is free to attend, with limited in-person capacity. Please reserve an in-person spot only if you plan to join us onsite. Bayview Yards is located just a stone's throw away from the Bayview station. There is also a free parking lot for those who are driving. You can find us in the Training Room, located on the second floor of the building.
