CIRA gives back
While CIRA is best known for managing the .CA domain registry, we also have a mandate to do good things for the internet in Canada.
Funds from .CA sales help improve Canada’s internet through CIRA’s Community Investment Program. Here’s how.
Five ways CIRA gives back
1. CIRA grants
Each year we invest over $1 million in grants to community-led internet projects across Canada. Our call for grant applications is now open! Apply by April 14 at 2 p.m. ET.
We support regional connection hubs that keep traffic inside Canada to make our internet faster, cheaper, and more resilient.
Our free cybersecurity service protects Canadian households against phishing, malware, and other cyberattacks.
4. Canadian Internet Governance Forum
CIRA works with partners to convene Canada’s leading annual forum on internet policy issues.
5. CIRA Internet Performance Test
Our test helps Canadians measure their internet speeds and heat map connectivity in their region.
