Open Data Day in Toronto

[Heather Leson]

HI folks

The Toronto Open Day is rolling. I am sitting in a room in the Ontario government offices with about 200 people.   There is a full classroom of young students (civics class) that are here to be our teachers :)

The event starting like a lineup announcement to Hockey Night in Canada. I think this proves an important point - events and building community need to work like a party - have fun and set the stage for creativity.

The city, province and feds are here.

The folks are tweeting at #oddto14. 

The schedule etc.

I hope your events are great. And, big shoutout to our BC friends - Herb and team who are hosting http://opendatasummit.ca/

Have a great weekend,

Heather
