Open data is the philosophy and practice of making information publicly
available and accessible, without restrictions, for people to use. 

Toronto Innovation Showcase, hosted by the City of Toronto at City Hall,
is a free two-day expo for through people to network and discuss the
questions of how to strengthen democracy, and promote efficiency and
effectiveness by making government more transparent, participatory, and
collaborative through information and technology. Attendees will hear
success stories, share experiences about opportunities and challenges in
the public sector using social media, propose suggestions, exchange
information on IT and trends, create connections, knowledge, tools and
policies that address the increased demand by residents for better
public service, transparency, civic engagement and democratic
empowerment. 

Toronto is Canada's largest city and sixth largest government, and home
to a diverse population of about 2.6 million people. It is the economic
engine of Canada and one of the greenest and most creative cities in
North America. Toronto has won numerous awards for quality, innovation
and efficiency in delivering public services. 2009 marks the 175th
anniversary of Toronto's incorporation as a city. Toronto's government
is dedicated to prosperity, opportunity and liveability for all its
residents.
