Open Resources
This is a start. This needs to be a community project. GOOD currently offers the following resources:
Members Only Page. Exclusive resources for Members Only. To access, join us here.
GOODtube. A series of GOODcafé and selected GOODwebinar presentations on our YouTube channel.
Mentoring. A service for our corporate members with expert assistance to get going with Open Gov - Open Data.
GOOD is offering this resource page until a more comprehensive website is developed. We started an open information clearinghouse http://alpha.ouropenhub.ca/ in 2019. It was meant to be a starting point and now is the time to get the project back on track.
In the meantime, we offer up this page for people to have some references of open information that can assist you in your open data, open gov initiative. We’d love your suggestions where to take this for our open community. Contact us at connect@go-opendata.ca
