Wikimedia Canada is a non-profit organization committed to the growth, development and distribution of free Canadian content. It has been recognized as a Wikimedia chapter by the Wikimedia Foundation in May 2011. Two members of the Wikimedia Canada board of directors have attended the Wikimedia Conference 2011 to further this development. Check out our web site in progress at Wiki Canada.
