Open Media

OpenMedia.ca is a national, non-partisan, non-profit organization working to advance and support an open and innovative communications system in Canada. Our primary goal is to increase public awareness and informed participation in Canadian media, cultural, information, and telecommunication policy formation. We strive to make Media, and telecommunications more transparent, with broader and more representative public participation. Our job is to shine a spotlight on key media policy developments, and provide essential tools and information for citizen engagement.

 

 

OpenMedia.ca works to educate, engage and empower citizens to defend and advance their communication interests, values and rights.

 

Educate: Through educational events high school and university presentations and workshops, and online resources.

 

Engage: Through online campaigns and participatory events that resonate with everyday people, and civic engagement around media and communications policy in Canada.
