The purpose of this project is to compile the most complete list of Canadian open government data catalogs. It aggregates all known but incomplete lists, including those of Namara, Canada, Calgary, Jury Konga and Tracey Lauriault.
This project also collects the open data licenses, open data policies, contact information and catalog software of the more than 100 open data catalogs that it tracks.
Contributions, corrections and suggestions are welcome. Create an issue on GitHub or contact James McKinney.
