WeHubThe Water and Environmental Hub (WEHUB) project is an open source web platform that aggregates, federates, and connectswater data and information with users looking to download, analyze, model and interpret water and environmental-basedinformation. By combining water expertise with an open web development approach and an entrepreneurial foundation, theproject will spur economic diversification and benefit both public users and the private sector by improving the access to waterdata and tools for academia, government, industry, NGOs and the general public. http://www.waterenvironmentalhub.ca/

SEAWA The SEAWA Watershed Planning and Advisory Council (WPAC) was built on a foundation set by the Citizens Water Study Group in 2006. This led to the establishment of the watershed stewardship group Prairie River Stewards, and then to the Initiator’s Group, and in turn to SEAWA. The South East Alberta Watershed Alliance (SEAWA) was formed in 2007, and incorporated as a non-profit Society in 2008. http://www.albertawater.com/seawa/

Openness The more open, accessible, interoperable, free and discoverable public data the more innovation we will see, the more stories we can tell about Canada from multiple points of view. Public policy can also become more intelligent as citizens, researchers, NGOs, business and other levels of government when they too have access to the data they need to inform it. These are the publics data after all! That is why open data and open government matters.
