This WikiProject aims to organize, improve the quality, and provide accurate information in an established, community-driven, Wikipedia standard for Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, and Vancouver-related articles. The importance of these articles for new users, research, education, and the pursuit of accumulated knowledge will be accomplished through our efforts in providing a consistent format and standard to our articles. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to participate, please follow the instruction on the Member's Page.

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. It may be best to direct questions to Canada's Wikiproject talk page. |
