Marking the halfway point of the Open Government Tour 2014 As the Open Government Tour moves into its final stages, we took the opportunity to speak with a number of the city organizers who have convened local participatory events as part of the tour so far. We wanted to find out how the tour is being received, what’s being talked about and where this open government and open data conversation could go. Participating in the discussion are (l-r): Richard Pietro (OGT14 host), Bruce Chau (Make Web Not War), Connie McCutcheon (Niagara), Ashleigh Weeden (Grey County), Jamie Newman (Halifax), Jean-Francois Gauthier (Québec City) and Alex Mochnacki (Montréal).
