The Open Data in Canada Timeline Project

I mentioned at GovCamp 2011 that Canada is at the forefront for Open Data actvities worldwide.  In my presentation I had hoped to illustrate a number of teh projects underway, but alas, the build just made a mess of the slide.  So I thought it would be interesting to try to capture the timeline of noteworthy open government / open data activities in Canada.  I've captured a number of the notable open government / open data intiatives across Canada (and borrowed a couple from datalibre.ca and the open data in Canada wikipedia entry) and fleshed out the dates from news articles and other announcements.  I've done my bets to be accurate, but would happily be corrected by those with more detailed info (e.g. When exactly did Nanaimo first publish their data?)

If you have a correction or addition, please leave a comment with it, and I'll refresh the .xlsx and .csv on a regular basis with the new noteworthy events.

The Excel spreadsheet is here:
