www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, January 21, 2016 | 10 Town of Oakville lauded for information it provides to the public Oakville has been ranked one of Canada's most open cities. The magazine Public Sector Digest, in partnership with Canada's Open Data Exchange, ranked the town ninth among 34 municipalities across Canada in the area of open data for 2015. Researchers looked at what types of data the cities made available to the public, in what format and at what frequency in making their decision. Edmonton received the title of most open city in Canada for 2015 followed by Toronto, Surrey, Ottawa and London. The group said open data policies make government more transparent and accountable; provide the public sector with valuable data for analysis and reuse; and cut costs for things like information requests coming from the public and media.
