Clearly Now: Trust through Transparency
Welcome to Transparency Showcase 3.0, a virtual 3D gallery that brings transparency to life through concrete and creative examples of how public institutions are making information more open, accessible, useful, and trustworthy.
The IPC’s Transparency Challenge celebrates innovative approaches to open data and transparency across Ontario’s public sector. Each exhibit, represented by a specially curated work of art, shows how transparency and access to information can improve Ontarians’ day-to-day lives, strengthen democracy, and foster public trust.
The IPC launched the Transparency Challenge to give public institutions a platform to showcase innovative approaches for enhancing transparency to the public. The challenge encourages greater openness across Ontario’s public sector while raising awareness of the public’s right to access information and the concrete ways in which open, accessible data can improve the day-to-day lives of Ontarians.
The showcase exhibits creative initiatives from provincial ministries, municipalities, libraries, police services, and health care organizations, offering practical ideas and inspiring others to follow.

In today’s digital age, transparency, and access to reliable government-held information matter more than ever. They are cornerstones of democratic accountability, helping counter misinformation, encourage civic engagement, and address social inequities. Transparency gives people the information they need to hold their public institutions accountable, and in turn, helps institutions to earn the confidence and trust of the people they serve.
