Lessons learned

What worked well?
Good participation
Good learning
Good sharing of knowledge learned back in Canada with the French Canadian Wikimedia community
Good networking with the international francophone Wikimedian community

What didn't work?
Transport, some participants had accomodations too far from the convention venue, missing earlier events because of the train.

Outcomes

edit
Provide the original project goal here.
Travel for French-Canadians to the WikiConvention Francophone 2016.
Did you achieve your project goal? How do you know your goal was achieved? Please answer in 1 - 2 short paragraphs.
Yes. 6 French Canadians participated in the WikiConvention.
The French Canadians attended several talks during the WikiConvention, some even shared their own knowledge during them, such as WikiSource. French Canadians present at the WikiConvention also participated in one of the first installations of LinguaLibre, a project to record regional languages, two French Canadians recorded a total of 1,000 words in Quebec French. One of the main advantage of the presence of the French Canadians at the WikiConvention Francophone 2016 was to get to know other francophone contributors from around the world with who they contribute on the Wikimedia projects in French language. They also took the opportunity to meet with Wikimedia France to talk about the upcoming Wikimania Montreal. Members of Wikimedia Canada also got more information from Wikimedia France for different projects.
