Last fall, Ontario said it wanted to be a world-leader in digital government. In the past six months, we've seen a flurry of announcements to create the policies that will make it happen.
Read @alannasokic's perspective on why this matters:

@EddyAvila015@WesternUSC@sophhelpard@alexbenac @tobisolebo 1. Enjoy the experience
2. You can't do it all. Focus on measurable priorities that will make a difference (ie. impact vs. effort required)
3. Debate. It is ok to disagree (and it makes the election way more fun)
4. Iterate. Sell your ideas but don't be afraid to add on/pivot
Having worked for @PBethlenfalvy over the past two years, I've seen first hand the incredible work ethic, leadership and unwavering focus he places on priorities. There is no one better to take ensure stability and tackle the challenges ahead of us. https://t.co/PqDptUnWZl
Building teams, not projects. Open data, digital identity, COVID-19 assessment tools, lean and user focused digital design. Just getting started. Can't wait to continue the momentum with @PBethlenfalvy and @TimHockey at the helm
We’re moving Ontario #ONwards!
Learn more about how we're investing $500 million through the Ontario Onwards Acceleration Fund to make government services more convenient, reliable, & accessible & help us recover from #COVID19.

Ontario has put out a whole pile of new open data on COVID-19.
This includes a case summary by health unit (which was available if you knew how to handle the big daily csv), testing data by health unit (new) and test positivity by age (also new).

This morning at @Communitech in #KitchenerWaterloo with MPPs @AmyFeePC & @mikeharrisjrpc I was excited to announce this important step in making our Ontario #Onwards Action Plan projects a reality.

As Premier @fordnation said, you deserve to have the same access to the same information that we use to inform our decisions!
We're launching a redesigned #COVID19 Data Dashboard that'll provide that info in an easy & intuitive way.

3 months since the ODS team has joined us at TBS, and under the leadership of @PBethlenfalvy we have achieved A LOT. Thrilled that I get to work with @hillary and the ODS team everyday. Going #digitalfirst and putting citizens at the focus of everything we do
A small-but-mighty ODS product team launched Ontario's Self-Assessment Tool in March, and have now forked it to support courthouse entry and school screening. Love this story:
