An internet for all Canadians!

As a member-based, purpose-driven organization, our greatest advocates are our members. Their support and contributions help us advance our mission to build a trusted internet for Canadians—an internet that is free, open, interoperable and equitable.

“Members are fundamental to CIRA’s governance; electing board members and acting as stakeholders in CIRA’s operations. They champion CIRA’s work, enabling the organization to build a trusted internet for all.”

– Julie Lépine, Manager, membership relations

What joining Canada’s internet community can mean to you:

Membership is exclusively for .CA holders! There is no additional cost beyond the registration of your .CA domain and it remains active as long as your domain remains registered.

AND membership has perks! Gain first access to free events and webinars, fun giveaways, member merch, and exclusive offers from our featured .CA businesses.

Support innovative and important initiatives that build a safer, stronger and more connected Canadian internet—like Net Good.

Play a fundamental role in CIRA’s governance by electing our board members, approving changes to CIRA’s by-laws and more.

Stay up-to-date on CIRA’s latest initiatives and products, industry trends and issues that affect Canadian internet users every day.

Share your opinions on membership and important internet issues. We’re always looking for feedback on ways to create value for members and Canadian internet users.
