About open data
By offering public access to our data, we can improve and enhance:
- resident engagement
- transparency
- accountability
Open data is data that is freely available to the public in machine readable formats within the terms of our open data licence.
Data catalogue
Our data catalogue holds the data currently available for public access. We encourage you to explore the data sets.
Wherever possible, we provide data in multiple formats. We will add new data sets as they become available.
You can download the data as shapefiles for GIS applications, and as CSV for tables and spreadsheets. Advanced users may also integrate our data into other applications using the REST or GeoJSON API.
Feedback and ideas
Through your feedback, we will prioritize the data sets to be delivered.
Contact us to share your:
- feedback on our open data portal
- ideas for information that would be useful as open data
- request for alternative formats or additional information on existing data sets

Land acknowledgement
The City of Kitchener is situated on the traditional territory of the Chonnonton, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee Peoples. We recognize our responsibility to act as stewards for the land and honour the original caretakers who came before us. Our community is enriched by the enduring knowledge and deep-rooted traditions of the diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who live in Kitchener today.
