This posting is sent from my role as Project Manager for Toronto's still
relatively new online "open data" mapping application called "Wellbeing
Toronto" (www.toronto.ca/wellbeing). For those that don't know about it =
(we
did not engage in any formal media release) this app is a new way to
distribute govt data within a business context (in this case healthy
neighbourhoods).  We just finished  yesterday building in links for the =
data
to be passed to the city's Open Data Website which now means easier pass =
of
data across both open data initiatives here at the city and thus =
ensuring
the same "date vintage". We will be providing enhancements this summer =
which
will permit the download of address based human services as well once we =
get
past a few more internal approvals. Please give it a try as we wish to
solicit input as we move forward in more data and enhancements for the
public. Its not perfect but a start. Thanks.
