From the Digital Research Alliance of Canada:

On February 27, 2025, the Government of Canada released their initial plans for the Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Infrastructure program. The Digital Research Alliance of Canada has been in the process of reviewing the information and developing a plan around the submission of a statement of intent.

Connecting with our digital research infrastructure partners and community in this process is vital and we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend one of two virtual town halls to have an opportunity to hear your input and feedback, as well as share our early thoughts about the Alliance’s  vision for sovereign AI compute in Canada we are working on for the proposal submission.
