We're excited to have made the top 5 apps in the Quality of Life category for CODE 2015! Everybody on the team really believes in open data, and we're working to bring the government closer to people.
Please check out our app, and - if you like it - vote for us!
Thanks,
Ken, Anna, and James

BeeHappy combines user input, a selection of government datasets, and Google Maps data to create a "happiness rating" that is based on a subset of the Gross National Happiness measure of social success.
Gross National Happiness is considered a more "people oriented" measure of social well-being than the measures we normally use, such as GDP. We believe that governments, communities, and organizations can use GNH to get a clearer and more practical understanding of what matters to average Canadians, which can lead to better policy decisions.
The app is a proof of concept and presents only a subset of information. If you'd like to see a more full-fledged application, please vote for us, and we'll make it happen!
