Building a trusted internet for all in Canada

Proudly marking its second year of partnership with Pow Wow Pitch, CIRA is the national not-for-profit best known for managing the .CA domain on behalf of all Canadians.

While  this remains CIRA’s primary mandate, as a member-based not-for-profit, CIRA’s broader goal is to build a trusted internet in Canada. With the understanding that Indigenous communities face disproportionate digital inequities in Canada, CIRA is proud to support projects and initiatives such as broadband upgrades for rural Indigenous communities and connecting Indigenous communities to online access and resources to become leaders in Canada’s digital economy.
