ABOUT THE DATA FOR CANADIAN CITIES PROJECT

The Data for Canadian Cities Project, which worked with fifteen incredible partner municipalities across Canada, was completed in 2021. Information on this site reflects the scope and goals of the Project. The WCCD continues to engage with its network of over 30 data-driven Canadian cities from coast to coast to coast.

Equipping city leaders across Canada with high-calibre, comparable, and independently verified municipal data, the Data for Canadian Cities Project is a transformative, three-year, Canada-wide project currently underway in fifteen data-driven municipalities nationwide. Supported by the Federal Ministry of Infrastructure and Communities, this Partnership Project with the WCCD provides city leaders with the data they need to make important decisions. It also strengthens internal benchmarking while enabling robust, apples-to-apples comparisons with thirty cities across Canada, and one hundred cities worldwide. From strengthening sustainability planning to driving economic development to achieve climate-change objectives, and informing critical investment decisions, the Data for Canadian Cities Project offers municipal decision-makers across the country the essential data that they need to create smarter, more sustainable, resilient, prosperous and inclusive communities.
