From Vision to Impact: TCIS Strategic Plan 2025-2029

The Canadian Internet Society (TCIS) is thrilled to announce the launch of our Strategic Plan for 2025-2029, setting a clear direction for shaping Canada’s digital landscape over the next five years.

By 2030, TCIS is committed to broadening our influence as a trusted leader in Canada’s digital policy efforts, advocating for an open, accessible, affordable, and secure internet for all Canadians.

With this vision in mind, our Strategic Plan focuses on five key priorities:

1) Building Capacity and Expertise: Strengthen our internal capabilities by enhancing fundraising and recruiting experts to address key gaps in digital policy expertise.

2) Proactive Digital Policy Leadership: Lead Canada’s digital future by providing timely guidance to policymakers and publishing authoritative resources that shape digital policy discussions.

3) Public Awareness and Education: Empower Canadians to navigate digital challenges through educational initiatives like the Net Positive Podcast and a comprehensive Digital Policy Toolkit.

4) National Engagement and Community Building: Broaden our reach by establishing a presence in major tech hubs and fostering connections through events that bring communities together around digital policy issues.

5) Formalizing Flagship Events: Solidify our role as a leader in digital policy by hosting annual marquee events, including Digital Access Day and the Internet Policy Forum, to engage stakeholders on critical issues.

This plan was developed collaboratively with input from our Board, corporate members, and broader community—creating a roadmap that aligns with the needs of Canadians and addresses pressing challenges like cybersecurity, equitable access, and privacy.

As we grow, TCIS will remain adaptive to the evolving digital landscape, committed to expanding digital access, influencing national policy, and fostering a vibrant, well-connected digital community.
