Providing a digital compass for the 21st century

In a time when information can be overwhelming, Knowledge Ontario provides trusted resources and learning tutorials that help Ontarians find the answers they need, when they need them.


	"I recently was diagnosed with a thyroid cancer, and immediately went to the library's Knowledge Ontario health databases to find detailed information on this disease, including treatment. I was able to go back to my doctor with knowledge in hand, instead of relying on him for all my information. Knowledge is power, and it definitely gave me confidence to discuss my treatment rationally and face this diagnosis bravely." Jennifer Behan, Bear Creek Secondary School

Expanding the public library's role as a community hub


	"Knowledge Ontario supported the Oakville Public Library financially in partnering with BiblioCommons. This enables me and my family to enjoy our public library more than ever. Even my four year old gets online and finds books he is interested in, puts them on hold and then looks forward to our next library visit...this is amazing!" Brett Polloway, Ontario Citizen

Through interactive solutions like BiblioCommons, Our Ontario and askON, KO is helping Ontarians forge deeper connections within their communities and to each other through their local public libraries.

Innovating tools to share Ontario's stories

Knowledge Ontario's leading edge technologies allow individuals, organizations and communities of all sizes to easily digitize, discover and share Ontario's unique past and present.


	"Knowledge Ontario's Our Ontario site is vital to my small archives. ... Our Ontario provides the professional tools that allows me to share treasures from my collection which would otherwise remain largely hidden from view. Our Ontario provides me with a much needed connection to people across the province and, indeed, all over the world." Rodney Carter, St. Joseph Region Archives
