Presenter: Matt Elliott (@GraphicMatt (https://twitter.com/GraphicMatt)) is the city columnist with Metro News Toronto. He’s been writing about budgets, policy and city hall shenanigans since since 2011.

Matt will tell the story of his CITY COUNCIL SCORECARD, a successful data-driven attempt to hold city councillors accountable with a very large, very nerdy spreadsheet during the tumultuous times of Mayor Rob Ford.

Agenda:

6:30-7: Welcome and intros 7-7:30: Presentation and Q&A/discussion 7:30-9: Breakout groups (make something!)
