The IPC is pleased to unveil its first-ever Transparency Showcase — an online 3D gallery featuring a range of projects from municipal and provincial institutions in Ontario.
The featured projects show the positive impact of government transparency and the benefits of open data for Ontarians. Browse the interactive showcase from your desktop or phone and learn more through descriptions, videos, and graphics.
Projects in the showcase were submitted in response to an IPC-issued Transparency Challenge to government institutions on September 28, 2022, International Right to Know Day.
Why did the IPC launch the Transparency Challenge?
Privacy and Transparency in a Modern Government is one of the IPC’s four strategic priorities. With the Transparency Challenge, and the Transparency Showcase we want to show great examples as a way to encourage others towards greater openness and transparency. We also want to increase public awareness and understanding of the positive impacts open data can have in concretely improving the day-to-day lives of Ontarians. This is one of several IPC initiatives to advance Ontarians’ access rights and inspiring greater transparency among public institutions.
When can government institutions submit their projects?
The Transparency Challenge is expected to become an annual initiative. More details on how your organization can participate will be coming soon. Follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter or subscribe to stay up to date with the latest news from the IPC.
The IPC does not judge or endorse the submissions we receive. We’re featuring some projects and programs based on the criteria we’ve identified. Our role is to collect, curate and share some of these examples in a Transparency Showcase.
