Drupal North Keynote: Ontario's Chief Digital Officer, Hillary Hartley

We've got a fantastic keynote this year at the Drupal North Regional Summit. Hillary Hartley, the province of Ontario's Chief Digital Officer and Deputy Minister, Consumer Services will be our opening keynote for the conference!

With a population of more than 13.5 million, Ontario is home to about 2 in 5 Canadians. Hillary's mission is to make government simpler, better and faster. She's got some great tools to make that happen - starting with Ontario.ca. It's a premier platform and the province’s flagship website, getting around a million hits a week.
