Proposed participation

We are planning to send 4 representatives from Wikimedia Canada to the 2017 Creative Commons Summit held in Toronto April 28-30, 2017. The ties between Creative Commons and the Wikimedia movement are obvious. We are proposing to hold a booth for Wikimedia Canada/Wikimedia projects to share information about the Wikimedia projects to the summit's participants. It is a great opportunity for outreach for Wikimedia Canada, especially leading up to Wikimania. The representatives sent are all highly motivated and experienced Wikimedians involved with many projects in Canada and in the global movement. The proposed representatives are Benoit Rochon (President - Wikimedia Canada), Jean-Philippe Béland (Vice President - Wikimedia Canada), David Fourney (Treasurer - Wikimedia Canada) and another Wikimedian from Montreal.

Goal and expected impact

As a result of our participation at the Creative Commons Summit, the participants will become aware of the Wikimedia projects and their connection to the Creative Commons movement, and will perhaps generate new contributors. It will be an opportunity for Wikimedia Canada to do outreach to potential new members and promote the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects. We will also promote Wikimania being held in Canada in August.
