@HousingNowTO @CivicHall @CivicHallTO @CivicTechTO @code4ca @tableauGOV Thanks @HousingNowTO ! Happy to chat more about this and housing data/visualization in general :)

[Civic Hall Toronto @CivicHallTO]

"There's a lot of power dynamics with data," @TamaraAugsten says. It's important to be careful when collecting and communicating data on vulnerable groups. #CHTsalon

[Civic Hall Toronto @CivicHallTO]

@TamaraAugsten from @ChildCare_TO is presenting the @TOchildoutcomes project and how it's visualizing important data and indicators for delivering children's services.

[@[email protected] @DumasRaphael]

@TOchildoutcomes are moving from static data reports to creating tools to help decision makers and civil society groups. Also going from 50 to 120 indicators.

Quickly explored the @InsideAirbnb Toronto data inspired by some of the work done earlier by @g_meslin . This dashboard allows you to filter by neighbourhood, hosts with more than 1 listing, housing type and more. check it out: https://t.co/J5lZ0nEGsJ

Hey @Open_TO check out this @Toronto_Fire dashboard using the Fire Incident dataset that was work-shopped with @cityoftoronto staff for Digital Literacy Week. Look at dollars lost, persons displaced, etc by type of fire, geography and more! https://t.co/YmfFhWUQll

[Tamara Augsten @TamaraAugsten]

Data is not objective. Bias can be identified at any stage of the data life cycle. Who is paying for the collection of data? How is data collection designed? Who is asking the questions? What methodology are you using ? Amazing points and work from @datassist #GOOD19

[Tamara Augsten @TamaraAugsten]

If Toronto has the most data producing neighbourhood our citizens need to be the most data literate. Some amazing points from @pamryan about the role of @torontolibrary at #GOOD19
