Wikimedia Canada is honored to announce the appointment of Louis Germain as Executive Director.

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.

In collaboration with Acfas, Wikimedia Canada is hosting two interns, Ali Sabzi Dizajyekan, a data visualization specialist, and Laurence Taschereau, a journalism student, as part of IVADO’s Data Storytelling grant and the ECCC 100 Years of Data project.

In 2019, Wikimedia Canada has committed to the release of a structured dataset from Environment and Climate Change Canada, which is part of the Government of Canada. The department is funding the project for two years to maximize its release and reuse in Wikimedia projects.
