OpenMedia.ca is a Canadian non-partisan, non-profit organization working to encourage open and innovative communication systems within Canada. Founded by Steve Anderson, their mission is "to advance and support a media communications system in Canada that adheres to the principles of access, choice, diversity, innovation and openness." [1] They work to engage, educate, and empower citizens through online campaigns, participatory events, and school presentations and work shops.

They are the primary organizers behind the SaveOurNet.ca coalition (which aims to protect openness, choice, and access for Canada's internet) [2] and FreshMedia.me (which celebrates innovative and independent media).[3]

Most recently they have spearheaded the "StopTheMeter.ca" campaign against usage-based billing in Canada with an online petition. [4]
