15. MyPeg.ca
Measuring community health, year over year.
We tally the health of babies born through to how
many of them graduate 18 years later. We track the
garbage we take to the landfill and how often we take
public transit. We calculate how often citizens
volunteer and if we’re doing more or less of it.
