A conference for information professionals ​who work with government information.

Loren Fantin (Our Digital World) and Simone O’Byrne (Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks) are co-hosting this year’s virtual Government Information Day(s), to be held 14 and 15 December 2021.

Engage with colleagues across the country and further afield. Learn what your government information counterparts are working on, concerned by, and celebrate some achievements.

We are very excited to announce that Dr. Debby Wilson Danard will open this year’s Government Information Day(s) Conference, with a keynote on INDIGIPEDIA.CA, the Indigenous Digital Encyclopedia.

This year’s conference will include:

• Dr. Jill Stuart on data ownership in space exploration
• Nicole Bonnell from the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly on working with official languages (11!)
• Jacob Turner on regulating artificial intelligence

Session topics include discovery services for Canadian census and geospatial data, preservation, and implementing more inclusive practices in programming and subject headings. There will also be announcements and updates on projects, including the newly-formed national shared print program, North.
