About Us

 

Mission Statement

We are a citizen initiative that promotes open access to civic information for the region of Montreal.

We believe open access to civic information and data increases civic engagement, makes services more accessible, and creates opportunities for innovation.

Through this space we hope to initiate and sustain a productive dialogue on open access between stakeholders for the benefit of all Montréalers. Join the conversation!
