It is this kinda use of admin data that reinvigorates my open data energy.  Data for policy and planning.

Harvey Low is also a very important member of the Community Data Consortium (http://communitydata-donneescommunautaires.ca) and we are slowly building a local area data catalog - (http://communitydata-donneescommunautaires.ca/CommunityDataInventory).  Getting small area data is a continuous challenge - ideas for data are welcome.
