Open Government

Open Information

Overview

Open Information means that government-held information is released proactively and made available to the public through a variety of means in formats that are accessible and user-friendly. Sharing information is an important step to increase government openness, transparency and accountability.

The Proactive Disclosure (Open Government) Directive identifies categories of information and provides authority to the Open Government Steering Committee to issue guidance to Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) departments and agencies on how to proactively disclose Open Information in their organizations to maximize the release of information.

Information will be available with minimal or no restrictions on use or reuse. Information that is considered to be sensitive or subject to privacy, security or legal restrictions will be excluded.
