Data Sources & Methodology
Last updated: 2026-03-22
Public Submissions
- Counts and stances are based on written submissions to the City for the March 23, 2026 public hearing.
- “In favour”, “Opposed”, or “Neither” are determined from the submitter’s stated position in their submission.
Communities & Population
- Community boundaries and population figures are from the 2017 Calgary Civic Census and City of Calgary spatial data.
Equity Overlays
- Equity overlays are built from census and demographic datasets, and represent the characteristics of residents in each area—not the submitters themselves.
- Colour scales are chosen to be accessible to users with colour vision deficiencies.
How We Processed the Data
- We extracted data from public submission PDF files using custom scripts to convert the submissions into a structured format.
- Submission addresses and content were matched with Calgary's open data to determine which communities submissions were coming from.
- We then used census data to overlay various equity measures on the map, allowing for deeper analysis of how submissions relate to community demographics.
