Participatory democracy
Informed Decision Making
1. Citizen participation in decision-making is fundamental to democracy
2. Good decisions are made by informed citizens
3. Quality civic data and information are key to keeping citizens & public institutions informed; and
4. Citizen projects using civic data generate innovative solutions to social, economic and environmental problems.
5. We all benefit from better and more open consultations using public data.

WeHub
The Water and Environmental Hub (WEHUB) project is an open source web platform that aggregates, federates, and connects water data and information with users looking to download, analyze, model and interpret water and environmental-based information. By combining water expertise with an open web development approach and an entrepreneurial foundation, the project will spur economic diversification and benefit both public users and the private sector by improving the access to water data and tools for academia, government, industry, NGOs and the general public.

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.

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 public's data after all!
That is why open data and open government matters.
