Wireless Toronto is a volunteer run non-profit community wireless network that is re-imagining how technology, community groups, the arts sector, and businesses can come together to re-vitalize public spaces in Toronto. Wireless Toronto began in 2005, following the model set by Montreal's Île Sans Fi, and has been setting up no-cost public wireless Internet access around the city and has been exploring innovative ways to use wifi technology to strengthen local community and culture.
Wireless Toronto hotspots are created using Linksys WRT54G wireless routers running open WRT and WifiDog. Currently, the largest hotspot is in the historic St. Lawrence Market in downtown Toronto.
