In this February 2026 TechSoup Canada webinar, presenters unpack what data sovereignty and digital autonomy really mean for Canadian nonprofits—and why “data stored in Canada” is not the same as being safely under Canadian law.
Data sovereignty for Canadian nonprofits isn’t optional anymore. Learn how to take back control of your cloud, tools, and AI.
Presenters from from Affinity Bridge and CanTrust Hosting Co-operative provide information on the legal risks of US-based cloud dependence (CLOUD Act, FISA), vendor lock-in, and what that means for your donors, communities, and staff. They walk through practical, values-aligned alternatives: Canadian-hosted and self-hosted tools for email, files, CRM, websites, collaboration, and AI workloads, including open source platforms like Nextcloud. They provide a clear framework (including an exit-plan spreadsheet and an example AI policy from Higher Ground Labs) to map your tools, reduce risk, and start a realistic transition toward a more sovereign, resilient digital stack.
