Canada Open Source Week 2027
"Communities Across Canada. United by Open Source."
About the Week
Canada Open Source Week 2027 will be a nationwide celebration of open source, bringing together Linux communities, schools, libraries, educators, volunteers, organizations, and technology professionals from coast to coast.

Land Acknowledgement
The Linux Association of Canada respectfully acknowledges that our home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is located on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. These lands have been home to First Nations peoples for thousands of years, including the Cree, Dakota, Nakota, and Saulteaux, who maintain deep and enduring relationships with the land and the South Saskatchewan River.
We are grateful to the First Nations and Métis peoples who have cared for these lands for generations. We honour their enduring relationship with the land, their cultures, histories, and contributions, and we offer our respect and sincere gratitude as we live, work, learn, and build community here.
