The MRIA had served as an industry association to provide resources, forums, networking events, job fairs, input on industry standards, an industry voice; in August 2018 they closed. Not sure what the role or scope of the reformed version might end up looking like; feel free to decide for yourself. https://mria-arim.ca/
