Speaking of Data
#DoMoreWithData
Data can be used to…
• Create just-in-time policy
• Help support vulnerable communities
• Respond quickly to crises like COVID19
• Improve programs and services
• Gain valuable insights into the needs of Canadians
• Respond to emerging societal challenges
Data helps us to see intersectional impact of the programs and services that we offer Canadians and better understand the challenges that communities are facing
Insights from data experts
- We must always view our data within its “historical, social, and political context” in order to make informed decisions
o Amy Hawn Nelson Ph.D. Director of Training and Technical Assistance, Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy
- We need to have a common language, and set up basic concepts for ethical data use. It is critical to establish data literacy programs and engagement sessions [across the Government of Canada]”
o Ima Okonny, Chief Data Officer, Employment and Social Development Canada
- Racial equity needs to be embedded in every step of the creation [of tools and solutions]”
Tawana Petty, Data Justice Director for Detroit Community Technology Project
