What are the relative usage levels of community facilities and active spaces?
What does good look like in terms of usage for different types of facilities and spaces?
Are the facilities in our priority communities being used, and do we have the correct mix of facilities and active spaces to meet local needs?
Where would future facilities and spaces work well? Are we managing capacity effectively now?
A deep dive on Movement Data
What is Movement Data?
What are privacy-forward data sets?
What are privacy-forward data sets?
Provided through a global partnership between ActiveXchange and Mapbox, Movement Data is the world’s largest privacy-forward data set de-identified and aggregated from 30+ billion daily location updates streaming from 600M monthly active mobile users. With data back to January 2022.
Bringing the data sourced together to show relative footfall and vehicle movement nationwide by the hour, day and month within a 100x100 metre grid, these grids can then be associated with any facility and space.

Even fully anonymous data can be re-identified if the location signals are analysed at a fine enough granularity without aggregation.
To minimise the risk of data misuse, Mapbox applies minimum privacy thresholds and small amounts of random noise to low-activity tiles. This intelligent privacy mechanism maximises data coverage, minimises risk of re-identifying activity patterns, and guarantees no statistical impact on the resulting analysis.
What is the Movement Data Index?

What is the Movement Data Index?
The data captured is provided primarily as an ‘activity index’ that reflects the level of use in the specified time span and geographic space.
The index is provided as a decimal value ranging from 0 to 1 with a normalization process applied to smooth out any effects of extreme outlier activity.
This activity index can then also be aligned with visit estimates for any facility or space across Canada (validated against samples of 'ground truths' of known attendances), providing accurate, consistent and actionable ongoing intelligence.
