Origin
Summary
The Community Data Program is a national partnership of municipalities and non-profit, community-based organizations that collectively acquire and provide access to sociodemographic, disaggregated, place-based data. This partnership is a primary source of disaggregated, neighbourhood-level Census data for the City and is necessary to enable sound social and community planning at a local level.
The previous partnership agreement, which expired in 2021, was made with the Canadian Council on Social Development, which has ceased operations. This report seeks Council authorization to enter into a new partnership agreement with Canadian Community Economic Development Network, as the new host organization, to continue participation in the Community Data Program.
