[Okfn-ca] [CivicAccess-discuss] Go check out the Census folks

Mon Oct 7 13:55:47 UTC 2013

Thanks, Tracey, the website is having issues saving changes to comments, which is why my addition to the pollutants comment isn't getting saved. (The issue is now tracked here https://github.com/okfn/opendatacensus/issues/194 )

Otherwise, I am pleased with the results. Thanks for your efforts and attention to detail!

This removes the need for each department/agency to go through the extra effort of re-organizing their websites to have an open data page, and the extra effort of changing their individual terms and conditions to take open data into account.

The preliminary, unreviewed 2012 data cannot be downloaded in bulk. The reviewed data of prior years can be downloaded in bulk. Environment Canada's website's terms of use prohibit commercial reproduction. However, data.gc.ca publishes many of the same datasets under an open license."
