WikiProjects

The following is a list of other Wikiprojects which focus on a specific topic within the scope of Canada.

Some Canadian WikiProjects fall inactive or semi-active because they have a lack of interested editors or they simply have served their initial purpose of establishing an organizational structure, content assessment system, layout and navigational aids. These projects are retained for reference because they contain topic-specific considerations of the many site-wide policies and guidelines that apply to a subset of Canadian articles. See Reviving WikiProjects.
