Peg (mypeg.ca) is Winnipeg’s community indicator system, measuring the health and well-being of the community year over year – in ways that count. It is through Peg that Winnipeggers learn how their lives, their neighbourhoods, and their city is changing. Peg is a starting place for Winnipeg’s citizens, business owners, and policy makers to learn the facts so they can lead change to create a better city. The award winning and precedent-setting system, with over 50 indicators grouped within seven theme areas, was developed in partnership between the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and United Way Winnipeg.
This presentation featured the benefits of the new platform for gathering and communicating data and highlighted how the simplicity of the tool allows it to be replicated, customized, and implemented both at the local level, or scaled-up to the global level.
