COVID-19 in Canada
I co-founded the COVID-19 Canada Open Data Working Group with my colleague Isha Berry. Together, we lead a team curating a widely-cited open access dataset for COVID-19 in Canada. Our data users include media, researchers, and government and appears on the Public Health Agency of Canada’s situational awareness dashboard.
The dataset is available from our GitHub repository or API.
We maintain a comprehensive dashboard to visualize and map COVID-19 trends in Canada.
You can find information on all of our projects at our website.
