In January 2015, the City's Open Government Committee - senior staff who promote an organizational culture of greater collaboration and openness - organized an internal Open Government Survey for the Toronto Public Service. The purpose of the survey was to learn how City staff viewed Open Government and discover their thoughts and stories about "opening up" government. The honest assessment provided by City staff would enable the committee to set priorities and focus on things that would help Toronto achieve the City's Strategic Action #13 Open Government by Design.
