An internet for all Canadians!
As a member-based, purpose-driven organization, our greatest advocates are our members. Their support and contributions help us advance our mission to build a trusted internet for Canadians—an internet that is free, open, interoperable and equitable.
“Members are fundamental to CIRA’s governance; electing board members and acting as stakeholders in CIRA’s operations. They champion CIRA’s work, enabling the organization to build a trusted internet for all.”
– Julie Lépine, Manager, membership relations
