About Government of Ontario (data.ontario.ca)

Government of Ontario (data.ontario.ca) is the open-data portal for Canada, covering Ontario. It runs on CKAN, an open catalogue standard used by many national governments. You can browse it directly at data.ontario.ca. Reuse terms are set out in the portal's terms of service (Portal-specific terms page; licence is carried per dataset.).

Licence profile

Can you reuse the data?

Licensed portal-wide: OGL 2.0 (Canada)

Government of Ontario (data.ontario.ca) publishes one licence across its whole catalogue, so 1,742 datasets here are covered by it even though they carry no licence of their own. That is a stronger position than an undeclared catalogue, where nothing grants permission at all — but the portal's terms are what govern, so read them before you rely on the data. Vizzie resolves each dataset to the same licence and writes the attribution line for you when you export or publish.

59% undeclared but Ontario publishes a blanket Open Government Licence – Ontario. Portal default is defensible; confirm wording.
