Simcoe County Data Consortium
The Simcoe County Data Consortium is made up of 20 local member organizations representing the sectors of health, child welfare, education, mental health, child development, municipal and social and community development. The Data Consortium meets quarterly throughout the year to:
- Purchase and facilitate access to social data at the smallest geographies possible
- Build capacity within the community to analyze community data to be used for better decision making and program planning
- Communicate and disseminate data in collaborative ways toward common community outcomes
The Simcoe County Data Consortium is part of the Community Data Program, which is made up of a national network of community data consortia across Canada.
Interested in joining our Data Consortium? Please reach out to bi_team@simcoe.ca to inquire on a membership with us.
The Community Data Program (CDP) was established by the Canadian Council on Social Development (CCSD) as a gateway for municipalities and community sector organizations to access customized tables from Statistics Canada and other providers to monitor and report on social and economic development trends within their communities. The CDP transitioned from CCSD to the Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet) in September 2019.
Check out the Community Data Program page for more information.
