ABOUT HUMBER IMPACT LIVE

We are Humber Impact Live– a collaborative multimedia and data-driven team comprised of students from the postgraduate Journalism and Web Design & Interactive Media programs at Humber College. Our goal is simple: to tell stories of interest and importance that we hope will inform, inspire and ultimately make an impact.

Our Toronto Election 2018 coverage includes an interactive map, real-time mayoral and councilor results, news articles and videos created by Humber students. This is the first time we are using live data to provide minute-by-minute voter results as the municipal election unfolds.
