The second round of public consultations on the development of Ontario's Data Strategy is beginning with the release of an initial Discussion Paper that focuses on the first key pillar of the Strategy: Promoting Public Trust and Confidence.
As part of the second round of consultations, the government is also launching a user-friendly online platform, EngageON, so that all Ontarians can participate in the conversation.
On the EngageON platform, anyone in Ontario can:
- · Take part in an online dialogue about the Discussion Papers;
- · Submit a formal, written submission about Ontario’s Data Strategy, and;
- · Register for in-person events in six communities across Ontario.
Ontarians can view the first Discussion Paper and provide their feedback through the online platform at EngageON.
In-person consultations will also be held in the summer and fall in Sarnia, Stratford, Sault Ste. Marie, Peterborough and Ottawa, with more potential locations to come. Ontarians can register for in-person consultations through the EngageON platform.
The province will release two additional Discussion Papers online for public comment, as it works toward the release of a final Data Strategy at the end of 2019.
