No Canadian community-serving organization should have to write its AI policy from zero.
We combine a policy registry, AI-assisted analysis, and a practitioner community to help organizations learn from existing policies, compare approaches, and build stronger AI governance that protects community trust.
Results are AI‑assisted and may contain errors (including missed documents or misclassification). Use Policy URL(s) as the source of truth.
Inclusion in this registry does not imply endorsement or approval, unless explicitly specified.

Registry + AI + Community = better-researched AI policies for the whole sector
We learn and grow together. No community-serving organization should start from zero.
Registry
A live view of municipal AI policies across Canada — adopted, in progress, or missing.
AI enhancements
Summaries, comparisons, and cohort briefs that turn raw PDFs into decisions you can act on.
Wisdom of community
Members sharing what worked, what didn't, and why — so the next city doesn't start from zero.
Most practitioners innovate by remixing — not by starting from scratch.
The day-to-day grind rarely allows for clean-sheet policy work. Borrowing and adapting what's working elsewhere isn't a shortcut — it's how the practice moves forward. Our job is to lay the foundations so your organization can build a solution as unique as its work and community culture.
