Wikimedia Foundation is a nonprofit association founded June 20, 2003 by Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales; its mission is the dissemination, improvement and advancement of knowledge and culture. For these purposes, the association encourages and promotes the creation and dissemination of primarily online documents under a free licence. The association promotes and actively supports the Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia. To achieve its objectives Wikimedia Canada needs to work with cultural institutions such as libraries, museums and archives.
