[Wikimedia-l] New Board of Wikimedia Canada // Nouveau conseil d'administration de Wikimédia Canada

[Jean-Philippe Béland]

(Le français suit)

Last Saturday, Wikimedia Canada held its Annual General Meeting. Thanks to
all the members who participated. We are welcoming two new Board members:
Catherine Bernier, involved with the GLAM-Wiki projects with Bibliothèque
et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), and Thérèse Ottawa, referent of
the WikiClub Metapeckeka (the WikiClub of the Atikamekw Community of
Manawan) and very dedicated in the project to develop the Wikipetcia
Atikamekw Nehiromowin (the Wikipedia in Atikamekw language). Benoit Rochon,
Ha-Loan Phan, and Michael David Miller were re-elected to the Board.

Wikimedia Canada is proud that its Board of Directors is still composed of
a majority of women and to welcome a member of the Atikamekw First Nation
as a director, as well as maintaining a representation from the LGBTQ+
community. We are sure that this will help us to continue and further our
efforts in terms of inclusiveness and diversity.


(Version française)

Samedi dernier, Wikimédia Canada a tenu son assemblée générale annuelle.
Merci à tou(te)s les membres qui ont participé. Nous souhaitons la
bienvenue à deux nouvelles membres du conseil d'administration : Catherine
Bernier, impliquée avec les projets GLAM-Wiki avec Bibliothèque et Archives
nationales du Québec (BAnQ), et Thérèse Ottawa, référente du WikiClub
Metapeckeka (le WikiClub de la Communauté Atikamekw de Manawan) et très
dévouée au projet de création de la Wikipetcia Atikamekw Nehiromowin (la
Wikipédia en langue atikamekw). Benoit Rochon, Ha-Loan Phan et Michael
David Miller ont été ré-élu(e)s au conseil d'administration.

Wikimédia Canada est fier que son conseil d'administration continue d'être
composé d'une majorité de femmes et d'acceuillir une membre de la Première
Nation Atikamekw comme administratice, en plus de conserver une
représentation de la communauté LGBTQ+. Nous sommes convaincu(e)s que cela
va nous permettre de continuer et de renforcer nos efforts en termes
d'inclusion et de diversité.

WMUK has also had a majority of women on the board since earlier this year. 
Glad to hear of wider progress in that direction.

[Wikimedia-l] New Board of Wikimedia Canada

[Jean-Philippe Béland]

Good day all,

Wikimedia Canada held its Annual General Meeting 2019 [1] on 19 October in
Montreal, Quebec with online participation as well.

We would like to introduce you 4 newly elected Board members and one
re-elected Board member:
- Amber Berson
- Jean-Michel Lapointe
- Lëa-Kim Chateauneuf
- Sarah Severson
- Stacy Allison-Cassin

The following 3 Board members are continuing their 2-years terms until next
year:
- Benoit Rochon
- Ha-Loan Phan
- Michael David Miller

Wikimedia Canada is proud to have a majority of women on its Board. We
believe that we are the only Wikimedia chapter in this situation, please
correct me if I'm wrong. We are also happy to welcome a member of the Board
from Western Canada. We are convinced that this will help us to increase
the diversity of contributors on Wikimedia projects from Canada, especially
in regards to the gender gap, and to expand Wikimedia Canada's activities
and reach across all of Canada.

The Board will elect its new Executive Committee [2], including its
President, at its next meeting on 4 November 2019.

If you have any questions about Wikimedia Canada, do not hesitate to use
the main talk page on our wiki [3] or to send me an email directly.

Wikimedia Canada would like to thank all members that participated at the
AGM and all the volunteers of the Wikimedia movement in Canada for their
contributions. If you would like to stay updated about Wikimedia Canada,
please join our mailing list [4] or visit our wiki [5].

Thank you,
