Canada

There are many people involved in OSGeo who are from Canada. This page is to try to gather interest in establishing a nation-wide OSGeo chapter. The Ottawa Chapter has focused on the nation's capital, and other cities are sure to have particular smaller groups of interest as well.
= Mission =
= Objectives =
* Support development of local OSGEO chapters
* Support National Geomatics events to promote FOSS4G and OSGEO
* Organize National Geomatics events to promote FOSS4G and OSGEO
* Participate in National Geomatics events to promote FOSS4G and OSGEO
= Resources =
* Starting a local Chapter
* Local Chapter Guidelines
* Proposed Membership Rules
* Interest Groups
* Like Minded Regional Organizations
* One Organizational Model

= Representation (Prov/Terr) =
A good goal would be for full representation across the country. Please change the list as we add missing representation. Either a group or single individual can be considered a representation. Next to the abbreviation we can list regional chapters that are also represented in this group. A regional chapter is not required for representation but can help network people to local activities.
