On November 20th and 21st, the WikiConference Francophone 2021 was held online, thanks to Wikimedia Tunisia and Wikimedia France. Wikimedia Canada was present to celebrate these two days of sharing between French-speaking Wikimedians.

Two members of our Board of Directors, Michael David Miller, Vice President, and Ha-Loan Phan, Secretary, presented Wikimedia Canada: A Decade of Projects, Partnerships and Activities (in French). Review their presentation and see the links of interest at the end of this article.
