This webinar was hosted by GeoConnections and created in collaboration with Open North. At least 150 people participated in the event across the country. It is the outcome of a larger GeoConnections funded project entitled Open Smart Cities and I am really happy to be a part of it and to be working with Jean-Noe Landry (ON), Rachel Bloom (ON), David Fewer (CIPPIC) and Mark Fox from (U of T).
