winning in the category of accessibility! Read more about the 2022 winners.

Open data is all about promoting transparency and innovation. By making data accessible and barrier-free, we are doing so much more than just putting data online. Having open data means anyone can see the data used to make City decisions or can create an app that makes Edmonton a more liveable place.

Whether it’s transit apps using City open data to track your bus in real-time, finding fruit trees in your neighbourhood, or discovering how many people own pet pigeons, anyone can search and transform raw data into useful information.

Open Data Portal

Includes 100s of datasets and visualizations for roadways maintenance, locations of schools, varieties of trees, municipal elections data, municipal census data and much more.

The City of Edmonton is a Canadian leader in open data. We have been recognized by PSD Citywide as a Most Open City for 5 consecutive years and have won multiple Canadian Open Data Awards since 2018, and most recently in 2022.
