During the AGM, members adopted the following:
- Keeping the current number of Board members at 9.
- Designating the Treasurer seat of the Board, for the next mandate of 2 years, as being nominated by the Board instead of being elected by the members, and that this seat is a non voting member of the Board.
Considering the resolution above for the Treasurer, there were 5 seats of the Board to be filled at this AGM. 6 candidates had put their names forward, but Jean-François Pilon decided to withdraw its candidature. As such, the following 5 candidates were elected by acclamation as Board members for a mandate of 2 years, including 4 persons newly elected and one re-election:
- Amber Berson
- Jean-Michel Lapointe
- Lëa-Kim Chateauneuf
- Sarah Severson
- Stacy Allison-Cassin
Wikimedia Canada is proud to have a majority of women on its Board. We are also happy to welcome a member of the Board from Western Canada. We are convinced that this will help us to increase the diversity of contributors from Canada on Wikimedia projects, especially in regards to the gender gap, and to expand Wikimedia Canada's activities and reach across all of Canada.
The Board will elect its new Executive Committee at its next meeting on 4 November 2019.

In Canada the contest is about the 12,000 historic places listed by Parks Canada. The goal of Wiki Loves Monuments is to encourage people to take photographs of those historic places and to upload them under a free licence to allow everybody to access them on the Internet. During the month of September you can upload as many pictures of those historic places as you want. It is not necessary that the pictures have been taken in September but only the pictures uploaded during this month will be eligible for the contest.
