1. How to get access to data by a consultant?
 
Consortia members are allowed to share the CCSD Community Data Consortium Program data with a consultant provided that both parties (Member organization and the consultant) sign a file sharing agreement. This agreement will have to be provided by CCSD. To begin this procedure email the following information to information at communitydata-donneescommunautaires.ca :

  1. Complete contact information of Consortium lead 
  2. Complete contact information of the consultant
  3. Name/Title of the project the consultant will be working on
  4. Name of Consortium Data files to be shared with the consultant. If it is the entire data base you do not have to list them individually.
 
Once that information is provided, we can work with you to enable temporary access to the files.
